Anyone know the numbers or specs i need to ask for when ordering valve stem seals. - On a previous thread Kit had mentioned they are same as certain Toyota models.
Im based in UK.

Also appreciate any details i need when ordering rings, or who to order from. ?

Thanks

Chris

£7.74 each!!!!!!!! Cheaper to source Toyota??
Some of Triumph parts are bloody rip off I think..and a UK company!!

Yep. I agree. I have hopefully sourced valve stem seals from the US at 1/3 the price , but cant seem to find anyone doing piston rings. A Triumph set is 120 or something.
Anyone help ?

If I ever come up with the money to do my 955, I plan to see if these people can source rings for me:

They have nothing listed for Hinckley bikes, but the specs they need should be in the shop manual.

Might be worth checking Sprint Mfg. as well?

Cheers,

I would just ring Jack Lilley, one stop and know you are getting the EXACT part needed.

Don't spoil the ship for a 1/2 penny worth of tar!!

I just bought a complete gasket kit from BB and the valve stem seals are made by NOK and have 9.2 stamped on them. Not sure if that helps you track some down.
