Very nice! Did you manage to get 8 pistons, or was it the 4 piston set from the guy in Switzerland?

I have only got the "drug dealer" size scales to weigh my pistons... About a tender from amazon,accurate to 0.1g

I have plus 20 thou AE Hepolite high compression pistons in mine, but you could still buy them when I rebuilt my engine in the 90's!

Hey,

its not the piston set from switzerland to expensive. Unfortunately i only have one piston. Will try to do a CAD drawing.





some pics from the inside. I think there is some material left to lighten the piston.

My set of +40 thou Heptolite pistons varied in weight from 443g up to 450g, but all the gudgeon pins came in at the same weight as yours

I see your piston weighs EXACTLY one pound (in proper Triumph measurement)

Somehow, I guess it cost a bit more than that

Cheers
