I do not belong to your throw-away perfectly good products that in any other country would and could be fixed mentality.

I live on my bike. Thus, I get plenty of riding in and searching for an O ring is not wasting riding time.

I will continue my search.
did you apply a small amount of light grease to the o-ring, piston, and bore ? have you CLEANED the bore and piston?
