Funny, I was sure your post was about Frank even before I opened it. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] I just got done locating Frank on the internet. Here goes:

Are his rings special? I don't know but his name comes up here all the time so I'm going to find out.

"Along with my new ring, Mr. Bowman included a listing of engines he makes rings for. The number and variety of engines in the listing is astounding. Mr. Bowman also includes a short paragraph on the care and feeding of new piston rings. He manufactures repro and current piston rings for our modeling needs. He can make standaed standard and Dykes type rings. If he doesn't have the ring you need in stock, you send the piston and cylinder and he will make the ring. Prices are $7.50 up to $9.50. His work is of the finest quality. He can be reached 6PM to 9PM Mountain Standard Time weekdays."

This guy has my head bobbing.
