Home Depot, Lowe's, or any plumbing supply place. Packages of 10 usually cost about 2.50, but at plumbing supply places you can buy in bulk for cheaper.

| You can also use some small zip ties and cut the ends off as short as possible. |

Jerry, I never did like the little o rings on the guitars. Really cheap and rinky dink looking for such a great guitar. The MCI can be set up to not have to use the O rings by just controlling how much slack is in the pedal or lever to where they won't come out. I've own about 5 MCI's and none had the O rings.

| Yes, I've discovered that there really is no need for the o-rings. |

| Paul and Henry are right. Once I got mine set up, I never replaced an O-ring. |

I used to replace mine with very small cable ties and snip the ends off -- just fold the square end bit around to the front of the bell cranks so the rods don't bind against them.
