And at the same time I am chasing 4 1/4 inch top bits. Rings/clips/lids.

mitre 10 B_M, or try our local hardware, they used to sell fowlers stuff, but not sure if they still do, but mitre 10 def do

I was testing this morning and I didn’t like the chances of getting the 3 clip on the 3 1/2.. seemed too much pressure, the 4 does fit on their, but a little sloppy for my liking. Also worried about stressing the seals by over stretching them.

They are a hard size to find Callie, but Mtr 10 in Kroy now has a whole vacola section, not just some clips and lids stashed at the end of an isle, noticed the other day, was quite surprised.

Gosh this is really an old thread! Anyway I just bought 9 X size 20 jars but don’t think lids, rubbers and clips come with the deal. Not in the picture or description but just maybe I get lucky. Any idea what size lids I wwill need for them?
