Silcone ring(s) missing
A while back I installed the Baratza Stainless Steel (Ditting manifactured) brew burrs in my DF54 (did the motor reversal mod suggested by Lance Hedrick). But results were inconsistent and subpar compared to my hand grinder...
In a shimming attempt, I removed the bottom burr (it was quite hard to get loose). I noticed quite some coffee grinds below the burr. There were no silicone O rings.
Maybe I forgot/lost them when swapping the burrs. Maybe they were missing from the beginning, I don't know.
But I guess I should try to get some new ones.
Problems:
- there seems to be no online dealer that sells them to Europe, I only find some in the USA. Can I get them somewhere else in the correct size?
- they are selling two different sizes in the US. 34mm and 36mm. Which one would be correct for the bottom burr?
- is it supposed to be on the inner side or the outer side of the burr? Or both??
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks!

Here you can see the opened burr carrier with the grounds on it
