AC Compressor discectomy
From the previous owner the ac compressor bearing was seized and broke the pulley so I decided to pull the compressor to install a new bearing and pulley but decided to open it up to make sure it was clean.

Clean it was but I stretched the o-ring on the back of the housing and can’t find a matching size, anyone know where to look?

Its ID is 116.5mm and OD is 123mm

Also check out how it looks on the inside. Looks a revolver haha

So I found this gasket and thanks to the much appreciated help from the seller, I believe this will fit the BMW compressor:

Obviously just the O-rings.

So a kit for a pre '92, 5 cyl GM compressor will work with a 7 cyl BMW unit?

The gasket (o-ring) fit the compressor perfectly, as if it was designed for it.

Put the compressor back together and will be installing it back in the car later this week!
