After a whole lot of looking, the only extra thick one there is :
KEG LID SEALING 'O' RING @ Williams Brewing

Thanks. I was wondering if you picked up the silicone ones mentioned.

I have been using the silicone ones from McMaster Carr

no 9396k926 they work fantastic for 6 out of my 7 kegs.
The 7th has a lid that doesnt fit thru the hole.
The williams one filled the gap very well.

Now that's a great idea!

even two dimes thick could not get the lid to go thru the hole far enough to seal on the o-ring.
It took a bigger diameter o-ring to get it done.

Did anybody ever come up with a cheaper source for the extra thick silicon O rings?

I'm thinking about replacing ALL my lid rings with them, and at $4 a pop, that will be pricy.
