Accralite have joined forces with Omega. Both pistons are now produced at the same factory in halesowen.

That chap purely buys from MiniSpares, MiniSport etc and sells on on ebay at inflated prices.
There are obviously a lot of lazy mugs out there who can't be ar$ed to look for the bits anywhere but ebay as he seems to do quite well!!

I got a quote from Accralite recently,

Basically they wanted be to bend over...

It was considerably cheaper to go via avonbar, plus i would have to order a batch of 12 pistons.

I got in touch with a nice lady at listers and she said that they were doing a run for Avonbar. I asked if there were any spare sets. She said yes and bish bash bosh 2 days later I had a set of 73.5mm 18cc accralites sat on my desk for £360 delivered. I believe they were well over £400 at the time from Avonbar. They are something like £375 now so IMHO I'd just go to Avonbar.

Omega/Accralite pistons said:


Dear Sir,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately Accralite do not stock these pistons, but we could manufacture a batch for you.

The price for 12 of these (12 being our minimum order quantity) would be approximately £105.00 GBP + VAT each complete with rings, pins and clips (or £420.00 GBP + VAT per set, £1260.00 GBP + VAT in total). For this we can do whatever bore size you require as long as the rings are available. Please note that we require a 50% deposit before manufacture will commence.

Delivery at the moment is approximately 12-14 weeks.

We accept payment by cheque, credit/debit card (Mastercard, Visa, Visa Debit, Visa electron, Maestro, Solo) and bank transfer.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information

Kind regards

i dissagree, i would have said he's a BAC but fair play to him, he is making a living from people to lazy to look at decent suppliers, his prices are clearlymarked up and he's not forcing anyone to buy or cornering a market and inflating prices

What you do is buy just one piston for the sake of it, so the guy is left with three that he won't be able to shift. *laughing*
