There are two kinds of 12 bolt wheels...The earlier 12 bolt wheel has thicker black O-rings, P.N. 12342633, and the later heavier 12 bolt wheel takes the thinner red O-ring P.N. 12460338. The later wheel has a 13th hole in both halfs.

i reccomend the black O ring for sealing purpose's...that what we use in our shop...works great

goto https://www.oringsusa.com they are in the AS568 BN70 section on the left, page 2, item -458 BN70 (14-1/2 ID X 15 OD X 1/4 W)

I just ordered 12 for $1.00 a piece.

Do you think that this outfit would have the o-rings for the deuce A3 wheels?

Just a heads up on the Hummer/HMMWV wheels, there are at least three different O ring specifications (8 bolt, 12 bolt old, and 12 bolt new, oh, and heck, I'm sure the 24 bolt wheels have another spec, so that makes four sizes!) If undamaged they are reusable usually. I know of several suppliers if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my list of suppliers.

do the larger black o-rings work in the newer 12-bolt wheel? there was a previous post indicating that that's all one shop uses?

 

[86humv]

Its to thick

 

[chrisross]

is there a part on oringsusa that works for the newer 12 bolt wheels?

The standard HMMWV 8 and 12 bolt wheels can use #457 O-rings with a durometer of 70 (medium-soft). They can be had on Amazon prices at 2 for $7.25.

Someone used the thicker black O-rings on my rig, (late 12 bolt rims) managed to warp one of the rims to the point I had to replace it, I think this is common practice by some but I would suggest only a person with nothing to lose should do this as this is a litigious society and a lawyer would have a field day with that, If the rim will not seal with the factory oring and using factory procedures it should be replaced or that person is likely to be liable.

EDIT, as a side note, I visit with a guy in Corpus Christi every now and then that is custodian of a large warehouse that has a collection of some of the worst wrecked vehicles I have ever seen, all had extremely serious injuries or deaths involved and all are under litigation (It is a "pool" location for ins. companies)
He says about 75% are tire failures and of those about 60% are Cooper variants (if it does not have a major brand on it, it is probably made by Cooper)
The lawyers come down and take pictures, have "experts" dismantle and inspect them etc. He is lonelier than the Maytag repairman and always enjoys talking about them, and they constantly change as law suits are settled
