Hi Guys, It's a question Ive seen asked a few times around and about so I thought I'd put it in an easy to find thread Kayfun O ring sizes and screw sizes. You can use these for spares although I highly recommend getting the deck screws if you have a clone as these come with pretty poopey, often rounded at the bottom, crummy screws that make it more difficult than it needs to be to trap your wires. I could post links but these are easily found on eBay by typing the dimensions and O ring or screws. Just make sure the screws are stainless. Hope this helps O RINGS- Fill screw O ring: 2mm inner diameter x 1mm wide.
- Chimney O ring: 5mm inner diameter x 1.5mm wide.
- Base and other sections: 18mm inner diameter x 1mm wide.
SCREWS- Deck screws: M1.6 x 0.3mm
- Fill hole screws:
Kayfun Lite: M2.5 Countersunk, length = 4mm (use this if the screw sits flush at the base). KFL+ : M2.5 Pan head, length = 4mm (use this if the screw is a round head and recessed in the hole).

Really useful post Tom, thanks for putting all this information in one post. I am quite relieved as I have just ordered some o-rings from Fasttech and they are exactly the same dimensions as your measurements above!

Where would you get the deck screws from please, and what do you call the head type? I can't find any this size? Do you have a link?
Unfortunately I have the 'crummy' screws you mention on one of my kayfun clones
Oh, and thank you very much for posting this information, so much easier to have all the info in one thread

These screws are good, they are nice and square under the head, if you understand what I mean. I bought as an upgrade for my Hcigar K4 clones, they trap the wire better than the originals.
