Post by: maxfax on February 21, 2011, 07:58:29 pm: This post got me thinking that they couldn't be that hard to get.. The few places that had listings, didn't have them in stock, and didn't know when they would.... So out of curiosity I asked my local parts guru about them.. A few phone calls and he managed to locate someone whom has 3 sets of 1mm over 1.6TD rings... However, they are Topline rings.. And I can't say much nice about them from my experience...

Post by: coke on February 22, 2011, 10:01:07 pm: Hehe. I asked him when he would have more in but he couldn't answer me. He says he orders them as they become available from his suppliers. If there is any more interest in them, I can let anyone know when he gets more. He has .020 in stock currently.
