Don't think anyone does pattern rings ? might be wrong though.
Those will be genuine kwak and possibly out of production so maybe limited stocks.
This is one reason to go to Wiseco's etc as rings are £18 ish + vat per piston.
Is Humberside engines up froddy road still on the go ?
A few years ago we matched up some rings for my unknown make race pistons from a big reference book of cords/hepolite/etc rings they had.
Just took in a piston and matched up each ring seperately to fit the grooves.
Worked out very cheap i remember and i'm still running them now.

I bought a set of rings for Cosworth 1105cc piston kit,from Cosworth, 8 quid per set per piston! Also got a full set of 69mm rings off EBay for less than 20 quid including delivery from Japan !
shop around :wink:
