We have nearly all the parts needed to finish the rebuild.

-1939 Water pump rebuilt and ready for install
-1939 Harmonic balancer rebuilt and ready for install
-1939 pulleys cleaned and painted
-Clutch plate resurfaced and rebuilt

All that we are lacking now are the rest of the replacement rings. The guy we are working with has a supplier he typically gets them from but they've been on backorder for months. Any ideas on where we can find the following?

-Standard engine bore 3 3/16" + 0.060" oversize
-Top two rings: 5/64" thick
-Oil ring: 3/16" thick

With the weather warming up we are dying to finish this rebuild!
