I bought mine from Avonbar in 2010, and couldn't complain about the service or the price. That was 3 years ago though Edited by Sprocket on 16th Apr, 2013. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Personal reasons I think Jon. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

If it was me and I had a favourite brand, I.e. omega I would just search for a stockist. Iirc somerford sell omega. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Omega bought Accralite unfortunately Matt and the prices went sky high! Last time I bought a set I got them direct from Listers. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

But anywhere that gets pistons made, or can make them, can make them to pretty much any spec you want. Although not a Mini guy ( I think ), Dave Powell at Performance Unlimited has got me custom pistons before and is always very helpful. 9.85 @ 145mph

I understand that omega/accralite will deal direct for bulk numbers, ie 5 minimum sets. might be an idea if anyone is looking at some sort of group buy?

Accralite were bought out by Omega, and Omega promptly put up the price of the Accralites so they did not compete with their own Omega brand lol. I know my favourite engine machine shop can get hold of anything if you are not that fussed about getting things cheaper (I doubt they would be any more expensive  )
Give them a call and discuss what you want with them, as John says, all you need is an Accralite stockist/ dealer. http://www.accralite.com/accralite/index1.htm On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Are you not tempted to run the ones you have to destruction. Find the limit and then replace them? I had mine from med but that's going back several years now! |
