Probably not, just an off the shelf size. My problem is getting the correct size without taking the syncro off again, and possibly damaging the o-ring. Should have measured the one on the replacement. The o-ring on the Standard Auto looked like nitrile (reddish color), while the Ford looked buna-n. Nitrile is a better material.I am sure the O-ring is nothing special
On further thought I decided the new syncro did not fit not due to the o-ring, but to the machining burr at the bottom of the reamed hex for the oil shaft. It just came to a dead stop with no give. When I looked at it it looked to be far enough down so that it would not interfere.
By the way, my idle did not improve despite the better accuracy of positioning the syncro.
