The wiggins is looking good. Here are a couple of minor moods.
I increased the length because of possible warpage when
welding. It will also greatly increase the bond area with a
very small penalty in cost for material.

Don't even try assembling them with out lubeing the O-ring first.
Weld or bond first... then assemble.
The O-ring material I am trying is Ethylene Propylene which
has excellent resistance to hot water and good for steam.
The correct part number is indeed AS568A-030

If you have the drawing in ACAD 11 form please send me a copy
as I have somehow lost my original. If not in ACAD 11 a DXF might work.

I still need to pressure check it but I don't anticipate any problems
at all.

BTW these are extensively used on Continentals line of liquid cooled
aircraft engines.

Will probably have to consider what you lubricate them with as well, does
anything affect the EP O-rings.

Animal and vegetable oils are recommended for lubing EPR seals.
