All depends on what sort of 1.9 engine its going to end up being - fast road, track car, etc.

Have a look at C&R Enterprises and TSR website and have a chat with those guys they can tell u which are the right pistons for the sort of engine set-up you want. They also sell 1.9 conversion kits.

I'm having to re-build the bottom end as its a bit tired,so thought might as well do this while I'm there. I've heard that over size pistons from the 2.3 audi unit or possibly those from an ABF would do the job, just wandering if anyone had had any experiece of these, trying to keep the costs down as much as possible...

if you speak to C&R enterprises Steve there will be able to confirm what options you have - they are very helpful.
