Ed,
IIRC, and if I am looking at the correct part on the Mo$$ web page, you can
replace this with a garden hose washer.  I hope someone will correct me if
I'm wrong.

The bottom diameter of a drum brake kingpin is smaller than a disc 
brake kingpin. So that O-ring is smaller.  The proper O-ring is 
supplied in a kingpin kit.

Well, I'll be the one to correct myself!  I was thinking of the part listed
as #30 in the BMC workshop manual.  Don't have any help for you on this
one.  Butt I'll bet that PPP or Ron, or someone will have a suitable
sustitute.  It's listed as a cork sealing ring i my book, which means (to
me, anyway) it isn't subject to a lot of wear and is only needed to keep
dirt out of the kingpin bushings.

The O-ring that fits into the bottom of the spindle and "seals" the 
lowest bushing to the lowest journal of a DISC brake king pin is a 
Buna size #120, available at many fine hardware stores.
