Pistin ring problems

My lo3 block has just been plate honed and now they are telling me from speed pro (and several other places) that they are not making those rings anymore because there is not a demand. If I put the original size back in I will have blow-by and SERIOUS power loss. That would defeat my whole purpose of theis project I am doing. If anyone has any of these or knows where I can get them It would be GREATLY appreciated. They are file fit 305 rings 5 over. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't find any file fit rings but plenty of standard gap for oversized.
