i should have been more specific. i want the tank-to-tap o-ring. -
Those seals come in petcock rebuild kits. If you have a good hardware or auto parts store, they can match it up for you.
Part number 2W6-24512-00-00 is available. Yamaha Parts House has them for $2.95 each.
Items 15-28

thanks for the helpComment

A word of caution.
The originals had two cross links that encased the holes for the bolts. A regular O ring does not provide that bit of sealing, so make sure that you use the gasketedbolts that were originally used to hold the taps in. A dab of gasket sealer on their mating faces before installation would not hurt.

On one of my model E's I needed a "gasket" because my old one leaked. I used a regular o-ring for the perimeter and used fiber washers with flanged bolts to prevent leaks down the bolt threads. No leaks. Never replaced it with OEM style.Skids (Sid Hansen)

IIRC, only the Standard petcocks use that 3 section O-ring, not the Specials. Both models do use those fiber bolt washers though.

O rings....
I found some on Ebay for 5 bucks total..........quick mailing as well.
Like stated in here......be sure to seal the bolds with a gasget of some kind. I replaced the O ring on my Special and it still leaked.

If you decide to make gaskets I recommend this stuff. It's white in color and has a very high resistance to gasoline. I always like to keep some around. If you can find it in 1/16" thickness then you can use it on fuel bowls and everything else. It will not harden dry or rot.
