I know you can buy these in packs of four quite cheaply but is there anywhere you guys know of that they can be purchased in bulk, say 20 or so?

i picked up a 1mm x 12mm? oring from mcmaster-carr that seems to be a good replacement. I can't remember the exact size, I'll double check when I get home and let you know.

I think 100 of 'em was less than 5 bucks (plus like 5 shipping, but I always order a bunch of stuff, so my shipping gets distributed through a bunch of things)

Thanks. I must be able to find them over here somewhere but to no avail at the moment. Maybe i'm just not looking hard enough!

yeah, you have to be able to do a simple internet search and find a number of places that can sell you metric o-rings

yeah, i think that was right. I measured the OD as around 11.5, so it's probably a 12mm, and the thickness was 1mm.

I think they had the x-ring shaft seals also. Ive seen them mentioned on different boards as a replacement for the AE seals that seem to leak alot.
