tested it today,  the connectors dont leak but the top of the vessel where it screws in still does,  going to get a new rubber for it in the morning

Unless you can see actual damage to the rubber ring it's more likely to be resin beads interfering with the seal where the rubber ring sits either on the canister or on the lid.  It's a good idea to thoroughly clean both of these and smear a small amount of Vaseline on the rubber O ring before re-assembling.  This may well sort the problem out for you.

We do not keep spare rings in stock but they can be ordered from Gaps Water, etc.

Vaseline is not good for rubber O rings as it is petroleum based and can make it dry out and crack. As the O ring is mostly made of latex you would be better off using a silicone based lubricant.

Good point.  I was going to suggest silicone gel lubricant but I doubted that Pope Vader had any to hand and Vaseline will work well enough to prove whether the seal needs replacing or not.

NITO DI fittings. Sorted. The new metal hoselock connectors are pretty good but I bought these NITO ones ages ago, and they are fantastic. Expensive though.
