Hi all, i am hoping that somebody can point me in the direction of a new piston or an alternative that will fit. The kit is an ali Pinasco 213, it looks like its a few years old. I got it secondhand and the piston skirt broke off the other night and took a trip to the cylinder head. Amazingly the barrel is still in tact and would easily run another piston if i can find one.
The kit ran with a 57mm stroke crank and had two rings, top one being of the Dyke type. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers SF, although i think these pistons are bigger than mine being 69mm, my knackered piston is 68.5mm and the porting looks different. I'll email SIP and ring around a few shops. Thanks again.
