Piston Rings for Foden MK 6
 

A friend is looking for piston rings for a MK 6 Foden 2 stroke engine. He needs just the compression and oil rings. He has the top split rings. The diameter is 92mm and have a locating knib on the inside. Since 2 strokes run hot, they have an amount of manganese in the material spec. We have drawings and material specs. but have drawn blanks on trying to find stocks or a manufacturer who will take them on at reasonable cost or quantities. Someone, somewhere will have a box full in their shed . . . .

Any leads will be appreciated.

Hi David

Have you tried these people?

David, have you tried Mr. Foden, John Sanderson 01477 500386, near to you at Smallwood.

These engines or versions of them were fitted in boats by R. Navy, Ihave seen Fodens fitted in a lifeboat, so maybe boaty forums may be worth a try?

Heard at the weekend these are manufactured from unobtainium. So good luck with your hunt......

I have found a few from a marine engine dealer, thanks for the tip. I have a few other irons in the fire but still seeking that elusive box full in someone's shed.

These might be worth a try http://www.fwthornton.co.uk/8.html came across them on Ebay, never had any dealings with them.
