XT brakes o-ring question

[Sharkcatcher01]

Hi Guys, 

 

Picked up a set of brakes this weekend that need to be set up and i have a question regarding the o-ring. 

 

The image added shows that you need 2 o-rings © but they only supply 1 in the box so i will need to go an buy another 2. 

 

Can I just get them from anywhere granted they are the same size? And do you know what kind of shop would stock them?

 

Thanks,

Are they rubber O-rings or soft alu ones?

 

I have soft alu ones on my brakes that sort of squash into place.

they are rubber ones. 

 

Its weird as you would assume they would have come with the kit, but apparently not.

1 x 8 nitrile IIRC. Just take the one you have to bearing man, Shimano brakes are mineral oil so the seals are nothing special.

Depending on where you are located I have some (1 X 6 mm).  Bearing Man has a R25-00 min invoice amount so unless you need anything else it is a bit of a pain.  I am in Kyalami.
