have also tried Fowlers, CMSNL, and that german lot that sell via ebay, John Olfield and Harpers of Cowley with no joy. There are some in america but import duties and legth of delivery time put me off that route

Hi,
I know some will cringe but in the old days its not the first time but buy the next size if available and file them down to size.
All the racing mechanics I knew did this without problems.
Cheers

you will not have to pay import on anything fro 0-135 Quid if I remember... but you will have to pay import VAT that's on everything new or old. I got all my electrics for my K3 including generator and cover, elect plate switch gears etc
and only had to pay £25.00 import VAT

Sorry forgot to add you can only do this with one piece oil rings which I have always prefered
Cheers
