First of all where is your location...? Theres loads of places about and you might live close to one, also someone might have they want to sell which could work out cheaper than having yours re-worked..

Scooter Restorations for a 175 conversion piston (not an ordinary TV175 piston), round about £30.
I use a guy in Bristol (Steve at "Piston Broke") who charges around £25 for the rebore to suit (let him have the new bare piston and old cylinder and he will do the necessary) Top geezer. He'd probably do a "while you wait" service if you asked him beforehand.
175 head off Ebay for around £20.00
Say £80 all in and away you go
