Actually all things considered it was a $135,000 car, but I paid a dime on the dollar for it, so rather than $5 ea for an 'O' ring I'd like to pay 50 cents ea. No matter how you look at it, $120 for 24 small 'O' rings is egregious. Its outrageous ! But if no one comes up with a source that they used with no problems in their W12, then I will play it safe and pay the Man the $120.

When I was doing research on the strut assembly and how to size an O-ring a few weeks ago.....I found a GREAT O-ring design guide. Here is the link to the page:

From that page, you'll see a "Seal Design Guide" link which is a PDF on the right. As an excellent document.

Definitely not all created equal! However, o-rings of the right size and made for injectors should be just fine, if you can find generic ones for your car. I'm sure MP4's link would be able to get you a suitable set.
