Hi All,
Can anybody tell me where I can buy a set of +40 Pistons & Rings from in the UK? I think the part number is 67-1562 but I'm not sure as I can't find any plus size part numbers in the parts book.
Thank Terryb

Have a look on the ever popular Draganfly and F W Thornton websites. These will give you a feel for the asking price of new stock. As a cheapskate, eBay would be my choice, genuine old stock AE/Hepolite would be the chosen brand, as modern day Hepolite marketed by Wassell still get a mixed reception. Here only the brand name is the same, product quality and function variable according to Forum experience.
Swarfy.

There is a lot of stuff posing on Ebay as NOS which is infact brand new and sub par. If you can source them I'd go for a set of Gandini (GPM) pistons and rings. They have worked well in a couple of machines and the rings are excellent at bedding in.

I have still not gone to the pub *eek* *eek*, I have never used Gandini pistons but in my personal opinion the piston in one way is only a carrier for the rings and Gandini rings from my experience after suffering so much trouble with other rings are EXCELLENT!! *good3*
