I have an american import 1978 T140 with Map pistons does anyone know if l can get piston rings for it in the UK. Many thanks
Being a US company i doubt it but unless they are something special the rings should be std type...have you checked the sizes against what is easily available here?
Thanks Dickie l have found a company in Yeovil, Cox and Turner that can make the rings for £60 triumph ones are £55. But they do not fit. So going to Yeovil with a piston
Honker Welcome to the family. Yes would be nice to see the steed in picture when you get it sorted. Joe.
Yes Darkman they said look under piston and there will be some serial numbers but there is only MAPcycles on the piston.So they cannot supply rings.
Honker Why not send a piston. But usually they are stamped on the piston face but hard to see and standard pistons usually say std but not always so they may well be standard pistons. Regards Joe.
Honker I would say you have standard pistons and the bike has never been rebored. If you are boring then get plus 10 or just get standard if not. Not that big a loss if it is wrong Regards Joe.
Hi Joe. Company in Yeovil can make the rings for me. Map America very helpful but say there are so many different pistons they can't help without serial numbers, which aren't on the pistons
Interesting, Cox and Turner do a lot of old Land Rover engines. I've had stuff from them (for Land Rovers) and they have always been top notch. You won't go far wrong with them.
Yes Joe but would be a pair of new pistons. Cox and Turner phoned me today and they are making rings for me £65 for two sets. I gave them a piston and bore dimensions
