Title: Vintage Speed - NOS 77mm Hepolite pistons! Post by: Neil Davies on March 20, 2013, 16:57:43 pm Looking hrough a box of bits for the race car and came across these little beauties! Hepolite 77mm pistons, I think for a 36hp motor. They are NOS, although the box is a little dog-eared, with rings and pins. One of the pins has some surface rust on it which will need to be polished out before the pin is removed - I haven't done this as I didn't want to damage the piston by forcing it.
There have been a couple of sets on thesamba, but they don't turn up very often. I'm looking for £80 for the set. I'll put some pictures up later. Title: Re: Vintage Speed - NOS 77mm Hepolite pistons! Post by: Neil Davies on March 25, 2013, 20:57:05 pm Bump. Pics to follow...

Post by: Neil Davies on March 27, 2013, 23:02:45 pm So these are actually 78.5mm :-\ ??? :) ie 0.060 = 1.5240mm :-\ ??? :) Yes, seems strange but boring out engines was reasonably common, I've just never seen it on a VW! Makes the 1192 into a 1240cc motor if I work it out right! can you measure the OD of the base of the barrells please ;) :) There's no barrels dude, just the pistons. I might have some 1300 barrels somewhere that I can chuck in if they're any use, but I know I don't have any early stuff. Title: Re: Vintage Speed - NOS 77mm Hepolite pistons!
