Was mowing nicely until the engine seized. Further inspection reveals a cracked ring. Where does one find piston rings for the 2G bonmow? Any help would be great

I believe, NO - 43mm G series; 50mm Midgets

Good work Jack, I have found it best to ring Steve in the evening rather than email. Make sure you hone the bore before fitting the new rings, probably will take standard rings.
