BDI Injector help

Kent8621

So i learned after the fact that if you take a BDI injector apart to clean it it tears the felt gasket it comes with.  i figured i would wait till i needed it and go grab a gasket and move on.  well turns out this is a lot harder to procure than anticipated.  my wife stopped at some places local to us yesterday to no avail and there is a store near where i am now for work called Rubber and Gasket that doesn't have the size i need.  has anyone else had this issue? if so i am about to order 50 o-rings off amazon but only need the 1, but thought i would ask if i am alone on this or not.

If it's just an o-ring, any automotive parts store or hardware store should have standard and metric o-ring assortments. If at a parts store have them check their A/C o-rings. They're usually hydrogenated nitrile rubber vs. neoprene and come in a slew of odd sizes

harbor freight has cheap kits.theres a store called rubber and gasket and they couldnt make it. you can cut down gaskets and just superglue the ends back together in a pinch and/or even hit the local car mechanic for one

well i found the size that was in malcom reed's video and website and its not even close, does anyone have experience with this issue at all?

I keep an assortment, but any auto parts store will sell them singly for cheap.

yeah i can go that way, i was hoping someone had replaced it before.  i land later today and i am going to try and take it with me to the store see what i can find.  note to self, dont pull it apart to clean it.
