White Scoutcar Piston rings wanted

I have an old Hastings Catalogue (No relation?) and for the JXD engine they list 2 sizes of Piston rings for JXD engines (4.00in bore plus oversize) :

Up to Ser No 11462: 18x 1/8 rings, 6x 3/16

From Ser 11462: 6x 3/32, 6x 1/8, 12x 3/16

As these are 4-ring pistons, I doubt you'd find a complete off the shelf kit from a Ford 302, Chev 350, Holden 308 or Chrysler 360 (all 4.0 bore and 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ring sizes)

I'd give JP Pistons in SA a try.

Another alternative might be Ross Prince in Qld.

Thankyou all for the response.

Bill at the museum is a master mechanical engineer and should be able to knock something up from ford or holden parts but we would like to keep the white as authentic as possible.

Tony - yes a distant relation but not close enough to have put the bight on for parts.

Is Ross Prince still in the game and if so does anyone have contact details ?

Lost track when i sold the last of my Blitz collection over a decade ago

Cheers and thanks

You will be paying about $200 per piston from JP ... thats if they have the tooling to make them .

Good to know - if only as a back up if the machining job doesn't work out.

Will keep you posted - AND one day I will get some pics posted up even !

Cheers
