Hi All,

I'm doing a quick rebuild of the 1275 that came with a car I just bought.
The pistons I have identified as being AE 19320 +0.040"
Google tells me this is a 9.75:1 late S/1275GT piston, so that was a nice surprise.
However, when searching, a lot of the search results indicated difficulty in sourcing rings to suit these pistons because the ring grooves are not cut as deeply as some other pistons.
I have a new set of Hastings rings and while they are the correct width, they are too deep (in the horizontal plane) for the ring grooves in the piston :(
When tested like this, the rings are too deep:

I'd rather not cut the ring grooves deeper in the pistons.


Anyone know where I might source a set of correct rings?
Minispares list them, but I suspect they have been NLA for a long time..

THANKS!

can't help with rings for those pistons, but a set of hypatec pistons to go with your hastings rings isn't very expensive... precision has them for $148

Have you tried Karcraft in Sydney. They sold a lot of AE piston/ring sets once.
