Update: 12-7-11
There are two things about the replacement rings I am addressing so there are no suprises or concerns about fitment or functionality.
-The replacement rings were made using a coiling wire method, not stamped from flat stock like the oem originals. So they will appear ever so slightly twisted and not flat if placed on a flat surface. Once installed they will sit flat and do the job exactly per the originals. Benefits included no tooling charge and they are (as claimed by mfg) to be stronger since they are made with the grain of the metal and not cutting across it.
-The end gap may appear to be excessively larger than the originals, its not. The inside gap is exactly the same as compared against 3 NOS original rings. The mfg does not put as sharp of an angled cut on these like the originals. so the outside gap is slightly larger but that will not affect strength or function. When installed for the first time these snap down and lock in place nice and tight, as they should.
