Ooopsie. Can anybody help??? 1 oil control ring required.

After constraints of time, work, relationships and finances my smoky Astra 2.2 SRi has been on the back burner for a couple of months.
I replaced my rings a couple of weeks ago and my dismay after doing them the bottom of the engine locked up.
I realised what I'd done wrong when I went back to it today armed with new big end bearings for good measure.
Upon removing piston number 2 I was greeted with the sight of a rather twisted oil control ring which must have got damaged on installation.
All I require is 1 oil control ring to replace it.
If anybody has an incomplete set or even a good old one can you post it to me? I will handsomely reward you for one or 2 via paypal.
