ah... try MED

[who_loves_the_mini?]

thanks, ill give them an email. not in any rush for them at the moment

[The Matt]

or try a PM to Minisprocket. I think he used total seal gapless rings on his Omegas, but they may have to have been imported from the US of A

If these are the original Omega 74mm pistons, and not the latest MED forged items, then you have no chance of finding a set anywhere except ebay. There was a set on there only a few weeks ago and went for in excess of £80, which is a bit steep when I paid that for the Total Seal rings new. I phoned all the big engine builders and even Omega themselves, all said no chance, hens teeth, rocking horse sh!t and so on

I got the conventional ring set by the way. The gapless rings were about £120

It has to be Total Seal. Give http://www.performanceunlimited.co.uk a bell, they are the UK distributer. You will need to measure the ring groove width and depth on all three rings. You want conventional top rings and a three piece bottom ring.

Hope that helps

Thanks Mr Sprocket ill give them a call and see what they say, if they are that hard to find i might just sell them and stick with the 73.5 i have as well

[Sprocket]

Rings are not hard to find if you know where to look

Just use Total seal

Oh and iff they are similar to my pistons the ring sizes are 1.2, 1.2, and 4 mm bore is 2.913". They may be able to refference up the order number for the ones i bought, That number is Custom00-08 and dated 22nd Feb 2006

and dont ask me why they measure the bore in inches and the ring thickness in millimeters.
