Cheers Sharki :afro:

Found and the JE pistons place but pistons are cheaper but conrods are much more expensive!
So rather than mix and match I will go with Wossner.

One thing I do find strange is that these pistons are custom design one offs!
Now if you read all the stuff on the forums what I am doing is not much different to others have done, so why is this not a recognised design?

Now I know a lot of people have used the 9A block rather than the abf but if you believe all that has been said the pistons shouldnt be any different.
Surely its not all Bullsh!t?

Pistons and rods came last week and today I took the block in for its rebore.
So the new pistons fit! :grin:

Also getting the block chemically cleaned so it will be good for painting when it comes back.

Picked up the rebored block yesterday and boy was it clean!

Then took it along with pistons/rods/crank plus flywheel and clutch to Basset Down Balancing.
They are going to fit everything and balance the lot altogether.
They are also going to paint it for me!
