Dear All,
Now I need to replace the rings on my JAP2a - these are 2.0475" in diameter. I'm going to try a company called engine parts. Does anyone know a good supplier please?
Regards, Ian.

Ian, Following excellent advice from this group some time ago when I was looking for a specific size of piston ring, I was directed to:
F.W. Thornton & Son 01743 357081
who proved to be most helpful.
Regards,
If you get really stuck, the Bradford Piston and Piston Ring Company will make you a set, but I would imagine that the JAP ones must be available off the shelf, as they were a pretty common engine.

About 20 years ago I used to use a very good old company called "Bradford Piston Rings" I just tried the old phone number & added a 1 & they are still in business. See

don't know if they still work the same but they used to make rings to your size if required.

Wow. A website. They make superb rings at what I feel are sensible prices but their admin was circa 1950. Flawless and with no call-centre or IVR:-) ttfn Roland
