NIKON WP-N3 HOUSING O-RING

I've purchased a Nikon WP-N3 U/W Housing for a J4.

I'm looking for an extra O-Ring (Same one as fits the WP-N2).  Part# is: WP-O1100

Can't find one anywhere.  Help would be MUCH appreciated.

Re: NIKON WP-N3 HOUSING O-RING

What I do when replacing an O-ring unavailable from the equipment supplier is to measure the ring cross-section diameter and its major diameter then visit O-ring supplier sites and get a match. Look for a low durometer material. It’s an easy process, but you may need to borrow dial calipers. O-rings come in only a few cross-sections. Silicone is a good material.

The easiest way way to measure major diameter is to measure total length and divide by pi.

show the dimensions here and I can help find a seller.

I'll have to get the calipers...  But THANKS for the help!  Nikon keeps sending me to dead links and saying my question has been answered.  I have place an order with two entities, but I'm not sure it'll ever be available.

We’re you able to find an o-ring that worked? I am having the same problem now.
