You're joking. :(
Sorry mate, is that all you are waiting for as well?

I was trying to find out for a mate in NZ, is it that they dont do them anymore or just can't be fecked to deal with the UK?

Jezz.

They got sent the wrong set of pistons and had lots of customs problems so he said that he didn't want to muck me around anymore, which is fair enough.

I have spoke to a company in the UK who deal with JE Pistons and supply Total Seal piston rings, I will keep you posted.

Do you think though that they would deal this aguy in New Zealand bearing in mind it's only no very far away?

But yeah, keep us posted on the local supplies. :)

Paul, have you thought of JUN ahem I mean Cosworth pistons - since that is who makes pistons for JUN. Might be worth finding out.

I dont know a great deal about obtaining pistons but on the ND web site theres a reference to Hastings I think - might be worth investigating...

Yup I have hasting piston rings, nice and cheap too. :) Supposed to be very good, they are from the states.

Not sure they do pistons though.

What about Mahle? They make some forged pistons, which are nice.
