Query for Ian

Hi Ian, I am looking to purchase a BM21 piston for one of my contacts, can you recommend a best source? Thanks for your time.

Re: Query for Ian

Hi Henri..A difficult one to find these days if you want an original. Russell Motors have come up with them in response to enquiries on at least two occassions I know of, so are worth a try. Bantam John..though expensive, has the largest stock of original pistons in the UK, so again worth a go...Other than that it's the forum, ebay etc. JP Pistons in Australia and GPN in Italy are 'modern' possibilities, but both tend to make their pistons a bit heavy compared to the original....If the barrel is an 'non linered' type you can use a pre 1954 'long rod' B33 piston as well...This will give a capacity of approx. 640cc-658cc dependant on the size of piston used (std. to +.060"). With a std. B33 piston this will still leave 3 rebores 'in the pot'..A solid copper head gasket opened out to the new bore size is recommended in that case as well....Ian

Thanks Ian, found a few on Ebay, but I think Russells is best.
