A friend of mine needs piston rings for a US two stroke 2.60" piston. Does anyone have a spare set or know where to find them?

Searching the web (for how to make them from scratch) it seems that
https://hastingspistonrings.com/ will make custom rings to
measurements for <$10 each.

(This is assuming that the US machine is in the US)

If in the UK then https://www.coxandturner.co.uk/piston-rings/ looks promising.

Though if you want to make some: http://www.jerry-howell.com/PistonRings.html

Cox & Turner made some rings for my English Model A (2 ½ " bore) a few years back. Didn't reproduce the Scarf joint at the gaps, just the more normal plain ends which then needed filing for the ring pins. Haven't got round to testing the rings yet yet, but they were very helpful when I rang and described what I needed.
