Rock Shox SID rear shock o-ring sizes

Rock Shox produced rebuild kits for the SID rear shock. It had the main seal, body o-ring, shaft bushing, shaft seal, shaft wiper, and glide ring. They're impossible to find anymore, but aside from the shaft bushing, each of the parts are available individually.

Main seal: #221
Body seal: #31
Shaft wiper: AN-09 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CYJQW1U)
Shaft seal: SKF ZBR125-1000-250-E6W (# UBR-125-01.000-250 www.mfpseals.com/c/621/skf-polyseal-ubr-rod-u-cup-urethane.html)

The glide ring can be made from a 1/16" or 0.07" thick piece of appropriate material (UHMW, PTFE, etc.). It's 2.28mm wide and approximately 124mm long.

Although the shaft bushing isn't available, it can be easily fabricate from appropriate material on a lathe.
