[Fot] GT6 pistons...again

[Duncan Charlton]

I’ve ordered a few times from them.  The first time I sent the a piston to measure and they replicated it exactly other than bore diameter, and most recently I knew the job number for the piston order make ten years ago by the previous owner, so I just gave them that number and the 0.040” overbore size I wanted.

Some manufacturers I’d contacted required a minimum order of pistons or a certain dollar minimum.  Venolia was willing to sell me just two new pistons for a 1936 V-twin motorcycle engine for a very reasonable price.
