Curtis,
APT, Winner's Circle and Mini Mania all sell them.
If you do get them, make sure you offset bore the block. David Anton at
APT can tell you how much and which cylinders.
The pistons are around $400, vs. $150 for a set of cheap stock replacement
pistons. My pistons (from APT) are installed but the engine is still
apart (this is getting embarrassing).
