I wouldn't use a 1.2mm in a 1.5mm groove because it could pass the locating pin, and I wouldn't use Chinese. Unfortunately my answer here bud is order another set of cabers. Or clean up and re-use the OEM as the bottom ring.

Great.problem is I don't have the oem one.

Run 1 ring in top, till you get another right ring someday.

Yep really used to run 1 ring on purpose. Just make sure in top groove.

Why would ya run one ring on purpose?

Less friction. Lots of Huskies from the factory with one ring.

Have to be careful with the 1.5 and 1.2 mm rings not to get mixed up. For reference 394’s came with dual 1.5mm rings. 395’s switched to dual 1.2mm rings. Good thing you measured. As mentioned 1 ring will get you by fine ran in the top ring groove till you get new ring.

 

[brad ruch]

Yup got new ones coming.
