It should be for a set of 4. 2 under the beehive and another 2 under the pedestal.

Ah yes. Now I understand. Read through the thread properly now.

So I can see that 4 o-rings are needed.

I'm good for 4 'O' rings, if that's what's needed.

Shan't hold you to it if I get 2 too many. Thanks again.

I have both parts of the Beehive in bits at the moment to replace 'O' rings. I am thinking :idea: of smearing a very thin film of RTV between the plates as well, I can not see any problems - any thoughts :?:

Will oil eat away at the RTV and cause a leak? Can't remember haha. I just replaced the o rings like standard when I done mine. I recently swapped over to an FC oil cooler. The o rings I replaced 3 years ago are still sweet! Had no leaks or anything. I've re-used them on my pedestal that Tool gave me. Still no leaks!

Hope that makes sense. Sending this from my phone hahaha
