My throttle body is missing this tiny 5-6mm o-ring. I assume it's supposed to seal for some sort of vacuum/air pressure purpose? Number 13 here... £16 inc postage !! A bit much! Is this really that important? Or will the standard airbox when bolted down seal it sufficiently enough?

You sure it’s 13 as that one is £7, still daft money for a tiny o ring, you could probably buy a selection box for that much, if one was fitted originally I would definitely re instate one.

You do get different size thickness of seals, if you look on the site they list them all but you do need one of the originals to measure, the multi box is handy to have for emergencies though.

Yeh found another site (Fowlers - even more expensive LOL) listing that part number with D4 x2. So I assume that means 4mm with 2mm inside diameter. 1mm thickness obvs.

That would be a thick and very small o ring.

D4 doesn’t mean 4mm. I just measured the hole. It’s 8mm.
