Title: 29 LaSalle piston rings
Post by: chuckjay on July 16, 2020, 09:23:38 AM
Want to replace the rings of one piston. Have done a little on line research and only found "egge" with a complete set. Are there any other suppliers that sell single sets? Any sugestions or advice would be appreciated. Thank you

I don't think you are going to find anyone selling a set of rings for one piston. Even if you bought a complete set there is no guaranty they would work or fit on stock pistons. I would suggest you try and find someone that may have a left over supply or even used. As long as they are not broken and fit your piston you should be OK. Whatever you find be sure the measurements match your piston.    Harry

Thank you for your help Harry. Looks like I'm in for a long search. I really only need one, the top one. Took a look back at the set from Egge and the size descriptions don't match at all.

Thank you Dan for the link to Hagens. They do list a set the size I need, (all 3/16 thick) Not so bad going with a full set, the car is 91 years old. Who knows how long they will be available.
