My latest project in the realms of Commer insanity is the restoration of a 1957 TS3 Td199 engine. Parts for these early TS3's are unobtainium and i am having to build it from literally bits and pieces found laying around in scrap yards.
Does anybody out there in Commer land have any piston rings even "dare i say it" used ones?. cringe at the thought, i know. But options are limited. I can get new ones made but the cost is astronomical.
I currently have 3 good pistons and 3 with disintergratd fire rings.
I also require No 1 injector line. apart from that everything else is looking good to go.

Anywho, its a long term project that i hope to have as a running display and tow behind the bus to car shows etc.

Thanks for the info Talbot,:D
I tried Mark and he is very helpfull, although he only has parts for the newer TD-215 engines and not the older TD-199:rolleyes:.
I have managed to get a set of used pistons from someone that dont appear too bad, with ring clearances still allmost within spec and i also have the injector line. So putting it all together now and will post a video if i get it to start.;)
The liners in this engine are in amazing condition with no ridges or scores at all and it is really frustrating having to use worn parts, but at least it is a bit of garage fun and like all Commer unusual stuff draws a lot of interest from peopleo_O.

I will always be on the look out for new rings though so if anyone knows where some might be hiding, please let me know.
Thanks
