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.

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....

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

Get the verniers out, ive had B,s bigger than C,s,

, so you may find a A bigger than a B.

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)
