Title: Piston type/brand ID? Post by: modnrod on September 26, 2014, 11:59:18 am Not important at all really, just curiosity.
85.5s, but they seem lighter than most stockers (I think, from memory..........which is crap! :D). They have Bras M57 and P865 cast into them. (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc458/MODNROD/VW/855BrazilM57_zps1dacd71d.jpg) (http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/MODNROD/media/VW/855BrazilM57_zps1dacd71d.jpg.html) They came out of an engine built in the mid-70s in California somewhere if that helps (bit of a story how it got out here).

I'll put them on the "emergency stocker spares" shelf. ;) |
