Hi,

 

I have been surfing the net trying to locate a supplier of +30 Pistons, can't seem to find any....

 

Mini Spares and Mini Sport do not stock this size.

 

Anyone have any advice on where I can purchase or does anyone have any in the spares bin.

 

Many Thanks

I have some new ones boxed with rings pressed onto some nice 1275 rods.

 

PM me an offer if interested

For some inexplicable reason +30 would seem to have been dropped completely.... - it's a useful size for insurance purposes....ahem... as +30 was the max factory specified overbore - therefore a gold or silverseal recon 1275 unit could well have been a 1301 without owner knowing.....

Mine's a 1301 at end of it's life now having to go +60 to 1330...

+0.030" is an older size. Year ago when fuel was really cheap engines used to run really rich. Bore washing was common place as was boring to +0.030" to remove the wear!! Now not so much demand, therefore pistons not available.

Try Thorntons ... no not chocolate people ... these guys have NOS engine parts. In Warrington I think.
