dont think so
Its in bits scooter club: www.facebook.com/groups/132415046859320
If its any help I fitted a C grade piston in my TS1 (B grade barrel) or it might have been the other way round and it was fine, as I couldn`t get the correct grade at the time MB said it would be OK, and it was.
Keep on keepin on

Cheers folks, there only seems to be "A" grades available at the minute,hence the query.

TINO told me that when he had my muggy replated he said a slight oversize was better it never gave me any problems altho it was standard and not that fast(200)byron wrote:I think you can go one grade either side...?
so mix A with a B, or B with a C, but not A and C
but wait for someone to confirm that....
