334 gearbox synchromesh rings

[Renault Mac]

Hi Everybody
Does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of 1st and 2nd gear synchro rings for the 334-04 four speed box in my R4? If so where from?
Regards
Mac

I don't know if you've got this, but it'll be useful (it's a lot easier to start with a part number):

I didn't think 1st gear had synchro. Mine doesn't seem to while my 2nd gear feels like it used to have synchro.

Hi Andy, looking at the exploded diagram of the 334 gearbox internals the synchro rings all appear to have the same part number 042818600. Does this make sense that they should be identical. Any comments welcome.
Thanks Malcolm (and cat) for identifying a supplier.

Apologies Andy, it was you who identified stockists.

2,3 and 4 are identical. I was unable to get 1st when I did mine - you would probably need 06 07 352 900 as well.
