Oh! They were a special set made by Gregg Luneak and were 5/64 " rings rather than the common 1/16 " rings because nobody makes a 3.865 Moly 1/16" ring anymore. All that was available at the time were the 5/64" rings. They weren't supposed to work, but obviously they do.

Jerry, thanks....I'm not too worried about the dykes....they have proved themselves to make decent power. It's just harder to find stuff for them in a world where companies market to sell their latest and greatest.

Do you have a contact # for Gregg?
