Piston rings

Hello Folks,
My 1982 K Strada is standard bore, but the ring gap is out of tolerance, about .025", more on the oil control ring. Bores are within tolerance.
The only std rings I can find are in Greece, and are for a K2, which I understand is Nikasil bore?. I know it's not recommended to use hard chrome rings in a nikasil bore, but how about rings intended for nikasil in an iron bore?, would they wear very quickly?. Or does anyone have a source for a set of std rings?, Mdina only have the middle ring.
Thanks,
Alan.

If you know the bore size and ring width and height, quite often you can find rings from a totally different vehicle with a bit of searching on the web.
I found car ones to fit Matchless Hepolite pistons.
Might be worth a punt if you can’t get the correct items?
