Wanted- Thin rings for West Bend 820 Wiseco thin-ring piston

Hi guys-

I happened upon some NOS Wiseco standard bore pistons for the West Bend 820s. These pistons use thin rings but currently have no rings. Do any of you know of a source? I called Wiseco tech support and they told me to go pee up a ladder. I'd even be willing to trade one of these for a couple sets of the rings. I also tried Hastings but they have nothing even close. Thanks!

Jacob,
Call or email Dave at Otto Gas Engine Works. He has many stock rings and can make just about anything. I needed some rings for a project last year. Gave him the pertinent dimensions and had the rings in my hand in less than two weeks. The rings I needed were $5.00/set plus $1.00 shipping at that time. Needless to say, I was quite pleased. Here's his web site:
