Can anyone point me to where I may find a supply of 997cc pistons, both Mini Spares and Somerford no longer carry stock of the pistons only the rings.

moved to mini chat John... I think it's more of a "help please!" than a "wanted to buy"

Are 998 Cooper above.

I would bore it and fit 1098 ones. Then deck block a little to suit. Stroke isn't much less than 1098 is.

I bored a 997 block to 68mm years ago they are pretty thick walls.

Thank you for your responses - looks like I may be on the right path now.

Just measured the engine and to my delight the bore and crank are both still standard, may require clean up maching though.

I thought the repro ones were not correct in the way they mounted... Might have a pair of originals here somewhere :P

Pairs of originals I have seen on UK ebay have generally sold for quite a bit...
