piston wanted 1939 Austin 8 AP civilian Tourer - Ally Monce - 15-03-2018
Hi am new here looking for hepolite piston 7665 +060 for my 39 AP Tourer .The engine was "stuck" and one piston did not like the stout wood and sledgehammer treatment resulting in "piston broke" If anyone has a lonely piston or indeed a set please get in touch .I have cleaned the light rust from the bored and they are good with no scores or ridges .PEP pistons would be ideal .Live in hope ,cheers Ally

If you search Austin 8 Hp 1937-1939 Hepolite Piston Set Rs7665 +0.020" you will find that the guy says he also has a +60 set. Sorry I can't copy the link for some reason, nor did I find the Ebay listing.

The set of +0.020" pistons show up as 'sold out' on eBay, but are showing as 'unsold' on picclink. The eBay seller is jtd357 located in Banstead. As Robert mentions above, the seller stated he also had a set of +060" and +030". You can contact him via this link apparently.
