I don't know what size jugs you have on the engine but I came across these
new Venolia TR pistons on E-Bay the other day. The shop selling them has
gotten some bad press since the original owner moved on but it looks like
they're in the process of selling off old inventory and these seem like a
good price. I bought a set of Venolia Spitfire pistons from them yesterday
and they're on the way.
NFI, just passing this on
