What size is the O ring for the NMO mounts. Is it in fact an O ring or a flat rubber washer type? The groove in the mount appears to be for a flat ring. Obviously the old one I am looking at is old dried out and flattened. I just want to go to the hardware store if possible.

They are usually toroidal in shape. I'm sure cheaper, knockoff ebay specials might have a flat gasket.

Depends which o-ring you are talking about. The one that goes in the bottom of the antenna is round. But the one that goes around the NMO mount, & sits on the trunk/roof is flat. My friend keeps telling me since I have the round o-ring in the antenna, I don’t need the flat one that’s on the car, but I use both. The flat ones gets crispy after a year, so I pick up a few at the ham fest, & replace them.
