I'm going to try one of his rings in an old ST X60 pattern glow engine when he gets some made up. It's worth looking into - his prices are close to what Frank's were.

Here's his eBay store:

His costs are indeed reasonable. Also, shipping is free on additional rings in the same package. I have a few engines to rering, and will likely order a batch from Gavin soon. Good to see someone's at least partially filling the void left when Frank B retired. Cabers are also a great option of course.
