Piston rings

[thunderboltandlightfoot]

Ok help and opinions appreciated I need new rings for my rebuild A65 1968 recommendations please lots on sale but lots of rubbish as well , are Hepolite, apex any good thanks .

most Hepolite come from India nowadays, still made to standards.  you can find the odd new/old stockon ebay or even at autojumbles (not many around) , Ive recently bought Hastings (from America) for the B40 seem ok. JP do pistons from America expensive, there are a couple of Eastern European suppliers that my machinist says he wont use.
i could have got away with standard rings on my A50 but finding rocking horse droppings is as bad as looking for hens teeth, managed to get a set of pistons and rings for £90 so the rebore cost was better than honing then finding out of tolerance. the modern Triumph Hepolites Ive recently used are running fine.
