I faced the same issued a couple of years ago, and the rings are two sizes, 1 you'll find in this kit (I have such a kit on the shelf less what I needed) but the other size is not common so not in the kit I bought.

Could be one is close enough to the size so will work, but I choose to keep the original ones.

Just a heads up on my experience.

that would be about right ie they make a size that is only for them,, that welseal stuff used that a lot over the years on them works a treat
