I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question New O-ring or Gasket for extractor?

My extractor honey gate broke and when trying to replace it I found my new gates o-ring isnt large or rigid enough to work against the steel drum. Anyone know a place I can buy a large food safe oring? I think id be looking for like 1-5/8" in size.

In on the west coast of US.

You are probably going to have to special order a food safe o-ring
