Something dawned on me at work today .On these bastard type rings it should be possible to use a sutface grinder with a magnetic table to shave a ring to thickness providing the rest of the ring fits .

Years a go ,fact close to 50 now I had an Indian Warrior motorcycle with bad rings .It was the same bore as I think an Indian 741.Rings for the 30.50 cubic vert. twins were almost non existant even back then but the V twin 741's were plentiful .Bought a set for 4-5  bucks and had a buddy grind them to thickess ,worked great .Possibley another way to skin a cat .
