Seibenrock Piston Rings

[Sylvester]

Oh dear, my rebuild is not going to well. Had a few "hamlet cigar advert" moments. Couldn't find my piston ring compressor tool so pressed on and snapped the oil control ring. As it's a seibenrock kit anyone know if I have to get the rings from them? While I'm at it I may as we'll bung new rings in even though the gaps look fine.

I thought Siebenrock made their own pistons but used BMW rings. I've never had one of their kits so not sure.

If you look at Ted Porters website the Siebenrock piston ring kit number 1125399 is also listed as the part number standard rings for 81 onwards bikes http://beemershop.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=BS&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1125399

Cheers, I'll order them tomorrow. Need throttle cables as well and a tappet adjuster. I fitted the shorter main stand as I wanted to press on with the rebuild. Both wheels are in so it's beginning to look like a bike again. Both wheels are just off the ground on the stand but not by much. The sump extension was a right bast to fit, I had to open up some of the holes a tad as they did not line up in situ. Still can't find the piston ring compressor I will make do with a big jubilee clip.
