Where can I get "O" rings and mouth pieces for my water bladders?

[harryhaller]

I've just bought two water bladders. A Laken which leaks between the tube and bladder because someone at the factory seems to have made a nick in the "O" ring (dissatisfied employee?) and I have an "Active Leisure" bladder which has a drinking valve which can't shut off the water (nor was it designed to).

I can't go back to the shop about the mouth piece, that's a "feature" of the bladder (or lack of a feature). I don't want to go back to the shop because of a small "O" ring.

So I though I'd ask here if anyone knows of any suppliers who supply these pieces separately.

Can you get something similer for the ring from a diy shop / ebay? You can certainly get the bite valves from ebay - for just a pound or so - search for platypus.

search for nitrile O rings on ebay.

Thanks Mace and Rik - Ebay was the place I hadn't thought about - jackpot on both items. Cheers!
