Just like the title says. I have a Yoyojam Dark Magic v1 and would like to replace the o-ring with a silicone-like response and I want to know what size fits the Dark Magic. I was planning on buying some string and want to buy a pair of response pads with it. Thanks! ---

I believe the 888 size, but I am not sure. The 888 size fits in my Mini Mo-Tu, so it might fit in another YYJ O-ring groove. (Seeing that they are the same size O-ring.) ---
