O-ring on SW150PL finder scope

... has perished. Finder scope rattles around a bit.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? If not, I reckon I can put together a home-made one.

Thanks

A fat elastic band maybe?

A lot of o-rings to choose from here:

O-Rings in Viton and NBR Rubber

And B&Q have a selection too:

plumbing stores sell all sorts of o rings. Ive got the same scope as you and now i've seen this post it's made me realise that i have an o ring hanging about at the bottom of the finder holder. I've not had any probs without it but i'm gonna check it out.

cheers

I just used a hairband of my daughters, worked fine!

Just made a new O-ring from some spare NBR rubber. Bit of super glue to join the ends together, works a treat.
