Rod Lathe Large Rubber O Ring - Urgent

[B_E_N]

So my O ring broke last night and i cant seem to find a replacement locally and more importantly, quickly! does anyone know of any stores that might have one or a round rubber ring similar?
or does anyone have a spare they are willing to let go for the right $$?

your help is greatly appreciated

If its a standard O-ring, you fix it with superglue. We do it all the time on belt drives that use O-rings as the drive belt

Hmmmm wags he of little faith. Non standard O-ring are all joined with super glue, and come from the factory that way.

sewing machine o rings should fit i normal have heap of them but i dont know if i got any left i have look tonight

I would be going to a bearing place and getting a drive belt rather than an o-ring. O-rings have no reinforcement in them and are a cheap alternative to a drive belt. A drive belt that size should cost about 10 bucks.
