KG-7 piston rings

[T00lmanii]

OK, this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have an idea where I might find any rings for a Super 10, KG-7? I picked up this engine and it was locked up. Let the powerhead soak in diesel/kroil/atf for several days. Finally got the cylinder half off the of the crankcase half. Rings were siezed up and was able to work all of them free except one.....it broke. Suprisingly, the bores are in pretty good shape. With any luck....OK, with a lot of luck, I'll get this thing running again. Thanks.

Racer, yes, I too did see the ones at Outboard Paradise. They state the OEM Mercury are no longer available, and what they have now are Hastings. I had already searched Hastings site and saw that they had 2.44 diameter rings, at 1.5 mm thickness. I wasn't able to find the I.D. size of those particular part #s to know if they would actually work on the Merc pistons.
