Do they really work?? I mean do they HOLD the throttle at speed or do the just keep some speed long enough for you to stretch/exercise your hand for a mile or two?

They work. At least the alternative I found in my box of bits does.

the O-ring size that works for me is a #321. 3= the diameter of the cord used to make the O-ring in 16th's and the 21 is the inside diameter in 16ths.

Anything around that size and cord thickness will work.

I took a 7k mile trip and the one I used lasted the entire trip.

If you have trouble finding one, look for a hydraulics shop, and they should be able to help you.

Thanks - sounds like it's at least worth a try. I saw a post here when searching for the CAT part# and price was about $2.65 each.

So, I shouldn't have too much problem finding one locally.
