looking for rings

[judgie]

there the mahla 103mm pistons. no one does any replacment rings for them. have a set of total seal 103mm rings that dont fit and all the aftermarket ones are the wrong size.
I'll try ringing Ahnendorp again but allways seem to get the answer phone.

Mahle is the biggest piston manufactor in the world. I can hardly imagine an engine shop doesn't carry their catalog or can't get those sizes from a Goetze or any other good ring supplier.
Ahnendorp now carries a different brand pistons for 103, so they will probably not have any on the shelf, but you never now and I am sure they can also ring their (engine shop) supplier and order them for you.
Surely an engine shop in the UK is the more economic solution.
If you just have a broken one, I might be able to help you out as I have a 'broken' set of the mahle pistons with 'Motorsport' rings

I was talking to a vw tuner the other week and he said that mahle have stopped producing all things aircooled (barrels rings etc) since they stopped producing aircooled engines in South America last year. I can imagine if this is true that they would be like gold dust .
