The Honda pistons in our supercharged special are 57.7mm with 13mm gudgeon pins. I was told they were from an upright hand held / hand guided tilling or furrow making machine.
Unfortunately they are shorter than Austin pistons so don't actually reach the top of the bore - I understand that they work best when paired with Renault rods on a 1 1/2 crank as the Renault rods are longer than the Austin rods ??
As I have a new Phoenix 1 5/16 splash fed crank with double oiler conversion, I opted for a set of Mr Bett's new 57.75mm pistons and am very happy with the quality of Tony's latest offering (shameless plug & a big thank you Tony for producing these).
