EDIT: DUMB QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE! PSHH EIGHT DOLLARS ***
OK I finally got this thing put back together but ended up with gas leaking from the transfer tube. I pulled out the o-ring and it was missing about an eighth of the ring. Not sure how that happened since I used the lithium grease and clearly drank enough to seat everything properly. In any case.. I wanted to replace that part but found theyre like $8 with or without shipping costs for just one. Thats pretty ridiculous..
Any chance I can't just use these?

I measured mine with calipers and get 1/4" tube OD but like .065" (.0025" off) thickness. Surely that's made up in the tolerance and the specs for the above o-ring are nominal/installed? Might be a duh question though..
