Wow ;

Over a month later and not one reply .

I took them an old piston and they made me new gapless rings from it......

Now of course , my current rings have finally bedded in so I guess I won't be dipping back into the engine again soon :hammer:

C'est la Vie , no ? .

All I have are the normal MGA factory service manuals. I don't think it has what you're looking for, and I don't have any 1500 stuff in the garage. Sorry!

How am I to feel sorry for myself & sulk if you're going to be so helpful & polite ? :D

No worries , I got what I needed and the car is running fine , it needs a little service for the upcoming So. Cal. TT Run , I'll get on it next week as I'm sore now .
