Title: Piston ring set for 82mm 750cc cylinder kit
Post by: Tate on May 30, 2012, 06:02:53 PM: Does somebody know where I could buy/order piston ring set for my 750cc cylinder kit? When I got the kit sadly one of the piston rings was broken. I have tried to ask from all fiat tuning companys which I know and none of them can supply them. Only one company has told me that they can order them from Italy but the price is quite salty as I would say.. :-X

Please help I you have any ideas where to buy them...

Don't forget you can re-gap the rings if they are a sightly larger diameter.

Yes I have just tried their service :o I just made an order last week to ask how much is the shipping to Finland. Well a couple of days went and one day UPS guy calls me that he has something for me from Italy.... And you had to pay it once you got it. Product + shipping.. :$

I have had troubles communicating with Nanni. As far as I know they speak only italian or spanish. I have called once and they didn't speak english at all. With emails its the same thing.. Now I've tried to send emails in italian using google translator.. :)

However the previous thread for vw air cooled stuff is a great idea, but are the vw rings okay to put on the fiat piston ie groove/ring movement. Im sure it is or else it would`nt be suggested I suppose.Mike.

Post by: Tate on May 31, 2012, 07:54:25 PM: Yes.. I think that is too big risk to buy for example that VW set and try what happens. If somebody want's to know a quality set of piston rings will cost around Â£90 (incl. postage) from Italy.. That seems to be the only option right now..
