[Austin_Counties_Cars_News] Pistons & Rings
Hello all,
I am having the
motor done up on my 1950 A40 ute.
Does anyone know a
good supplier of pistons and rings?
Preference is an
Australian supplier, but I’m willing to import as well. What is important
is to locate a supplier so I can find out what sizes are available, then the
block can be machined accordingly.
