I have a mate who is looking for some forged Hilman Imp + 30 forged pistons ... any clues as to where i might find some ? Yes I probably posted in the wrong spot but that happens from time to time. |

UK. Maybe. Most Imp stuff is becoming rare as rocking horse doo doo. My brother restored his Imp recently, we found even std size main bearings are NLA. I bought the last set in Australia off Jerry Lenstra. As for pistons, we had to settle for a re-ring job. |

I did leave out a small bit of info, 1 of the current pistons has a hole in it. We are talking about an A series engine in a little orange a40 Farina ( some might know the car ) Hmm I'll start digging around and see what I can find, cheers Doc |

I figured that it was usual these days to have custom pistons machined from blanks. Is this reasonably cheap these days if your pistons are NLA? |

I'm getting custom forged pistons made by a company in the US. Thing is you need specs, drawings etc drawn up to a pretty high standard. Using Mini costs as an example, standard cast pistons are around $300-600. Forged are around $1000 and the ones I'm getting made are around $1600. Depends on how badly you want them I guess
