Correct O-ring size for Neumann EA-2 MT Shock Mount?

Take the assembly down to a Bearing and Seal shop. They'll fix you right up
with the proper sized ring. They tend to stretch a bit anyways. A Viton
ring may last longer.

I've found that shovels work best for this kind of work. They server a
purpose in the euthanizing and disposal of said creature.

Sheep ranchers use a tiny-but-thick rubber band called an
elastrator(tm). The tool that goes along with them stretches them out
fairly large, so it should make just about anything to fit your cat.
