Greetings--
I'm looking for a single NPR 96x66 piston. I acquired a set with cylinders some time back in a lot of other parts. They're part of one of the old sets from the 80s designed to make a 1.7 into a 1911 without machining...so the top of the cylinders is VERY thin. I had them checked out by a local engine builder. The pistons were fine but, as expected, the cylinders were out of round.
I decided I would try to build a 1911 using a set of factory 94s that were bored to 96. Unfortunately, one of the pistons had a frozen ring, and as carefully as I tried, the piston ultimately was damaged due to my efforts to remove it.
Does anyone have a single one of these pistons sitting on a shelf collecting dust and would like to see it brought back to life. I could just buy a set off AAs, but these pistons are from the era where even the low end parts were higher quality than what is available today.
Thanks for reading this far
