Waterpump Driveshaft Seals

I can't seem to find there anywhere in Canada. When I took my old water pump off, I didn't notice these seal, I only noticed them when looking at the service manual.
Can I use any O Rings?
I've attached a picture to make it clearer what I am looking for, it is 156 on the picture.
I can find them online, but it will take a week or longer if they ship to Canada

Re: Waterpump Driveshaft Seals

A little research yields the following specs for them.

0.542 inches ID, 0.682 inches OD, with a 0.07 inch cross-section (often matched to AS568-015 or -112).

I'd make sure if you use generic ones that they very closely match those specs.

I was told that I could use just a regular O Ring. If everyone agrees, I’d love to know.
thanks

Re: Waterpump Driveshaft Seals

I believe the seals want to be made with Viton. The TC seal kit I linked has what you need if removing water pump and opti to replace the WP drive seal
