Simply contact R2C directly. They sell direct and that is how I have always purchased from them. There are a couple of sizes available. The OR 10600 is 6.95" x 4.44" x 3.35" and the OR 10604 is 6.95" x 4.44" x 6.00".

beware of them right now not the filters but the company.My boss had ordered filters months ago they never came he finally got a hold of them they said they will send them they never did and gave him a fake traking number.He had to keep on them and finally was able to get his filter but others i know havent got anything they just gave up on them.
Great product but need to get their service worked out.

| Took a few weeks but I just got my DRLA size filters direct from R2C. They are very nice, I like the sealing design of the lip. |

Looks like Pacific Customs no longer carries R2C filters. I couldn't find any listing for the filters on the PC web site.

I didn't know the website was down.
Both of r2c's major distributors told me they had gone silent, Pacific customs and Kartec, and they are out of stock on most sizes,
dumping the remaining stock on ebay from the looks of it.
Fingers crossed tho, maybe they will get going and make more.
Pisses me off especially, since I recommended them to many people. |
I think I just bought the last 2 drla filters from Kartek.
$33 each. I hope they are as good as you guys say they are. |

They will FILTER great. In fact they filter TOO well.
Mine BROKE, the sides broke from flexing inward, I only got a few years out of them.
I should have glued them to the lid, please do so if possible. |

Why would gluing them to the lid prolong the filters? |

OR10600 but the part # didn’t produce any results at all. I had to call KarKraft to get them.
They had a major recall a little while back with the rubber but has since been rectified. If Modok says something is good I trust his judgement. |
