I'm sure he has the 2 lug rings. I have 3 of the 4 lug synchros, but no 2 lug. I picked up a pair of 591087 2 lug rings on eBay today. Has anyone trying tried putting the 2 lug rings in a 4 lug housing? I am thinking about building him a transmission and taking it along a checked luggage later this year.

I have a pair of small needle nose pliers that I have ground flats on the out side of the tips. These fit in the slot to expand the snap ring. Putting them back in tests your patience. You will need to expand the snap ring and keep it up against the inboard edge of the brass ring while installing the cone. Not easy but doable. Here is a link to the shop manual description.
