did i spell that wrong? you get the idea.
where the hell can i buy gudgen pins?
minisport uk, minispares etc dont appear to list them. not that i can find.
the 1220 has taken on a new urgency, my $100 998 decided it didnt like to hold oil pressure on the way to an exam......so now im driving mums austin 1300...again.
so, does anyone know where i can buy 1098 gudgens? all the machining has been done(crank ground) just need the pins and a gasket set.

Pins are matched to the pistons & come with the pistons when you buy them

what`s the reason you need them seperate for? Stuffed a piston or 2 ???

You may be able to source them 2nd hand but pretty bodgey way to do things.

the engine came in pieces, and had been sitting, i only have two of the pins and they have rusetd,(bearing in mind the pistons are hilman imp, and in v.g.c) i have a set of worn 1100 pins which fit, but are quite worn(from another engine) the only solution i have found so far is to have the pins made, to hilman imp spec by an imp shop.
