Just pulled the pistons out. Here are some pictures. Can anyone identify them? Receipts just say 73mm pistons. Sorry about poor pictures

Depends what brand and model the pistons are, as their ring widths are not all the same. Not all ring brands fit all pistons.... I've had no probs with Hastings, or Nippon ringsets (Used on GR's pistons). |

definitely are Hypatecs. You can use Hastings rings (from Karcraft, Minis Plus or Minisport.au) or Nippon rings (from Russell Engineering). |
