 |
|
| I'm in a bind and hoping someone can help out. I have a very nice set of KS 83mm pistons and cylinders. I need rings and can't find a set anywhere. John at air-cooled.net has the deves rings, but not in stock. I wanted to see if anyone had a set, or knew where to find rings. The top two rings are 1.5mm and the bottom is 4mm. Most ring sets are 2mm thick top rings which don't work on these. Thanks for the help! |

Check with "Total Seal" they can usually find or make a ring to fit.
I checked the TS web sight...

| If all else fails, you can call Deves directly and have them make you set. I've done this twice and didn't pay much more than I would have buying them from Aircooled.net. |
