Sorry Tex those are not the correct dimensions, wish they were! The ones ive used for years are the #78 orings. They have a AS565 standard im sure but couldn't find it      ? But the SAE is 3/32"CS X 7/16"OD X 1/4"ID. Metric..wait for it..complicated 2.6CS X11.25OD X 6.25ID. But believe me, the #78's are a perfect fit for the 72-80 VM carbs, been using them for years without Any complications or call backs. A few pics to define.

Clay, will you sell me some of that o-rings, with postage to germany??  ...Unable to get them here in this dimensions....(I'd like to try that out, with the two stripped original T-pieces! -So far, I've always either used new connectors or made my own on the lathe...but that's always quite time-consuming, so I'd like to try this solution! This idea looks good for me!)
 
Greetings, Joe

Wookie, absolutely not. But..These are the perfect size for using on "existing" T's. Joe..I would Love nothing more then to supply you with a handful of these but don't want you to have to spend a crapload on posting. Reference the number on the packet in picture! Then purchase more local, save you a ton of rumples/deutsche marks/euros/bitcoins. Let me know what you find Joe.

Clay, I've been trying to find these O-rings in the sizes you listed, but no luck! I thought it wouldn't be that expensive to just ship 10 of these rings in a plain envelope for about $5 or so? But it's really not that important. So far, I've always found relatively good solutions, but I'm always open to trying something new that might work better ;-)

Ed sent me a full set of carb "O" rings (on a flat card like a birthday card) and it wasn't expensive :)

I stand corrected on the proper O-ring size for the TWO feed, small fuel Tee's.  My reference of -011 size is correct for the center feed (single large) Fuel Tee.

My bad.  I assumed both would be the same, but NO.  The small fuel Tees have a much smaller inner core, compared to the center feed, long, Tees.

Look at my good friend Clay here, doing delicate carb work on top of his firewood pile!  Can't argue with results, though!!!

Ok..see if this fits the bill Joe. And Don't want to step on Ed's Rubber Sales foot but these are unique, HI ED!! Bought the USA equivalent of what i use, now just have to wait for them to arrive. When they arrive i'll include them in a card of some sort included inside. Perhaps a phallic symbol that extends between the binding when the card is opened? Rubbers and a remembrance of being a randy youth, ha. Ed is Correct for his application though!! Honda used different #5's and the ones with the center shared fuel tee indeed used the smaller oring because the remaining pot zinc was a thicker size.
