Anybody have any knowledge or opinions on these...



Do you think they're an improvement on the Indian SR type pistons...or is that what they are?

Thought that Lintek supplied parts in 80's and 90's

VE were selling a load of these off a while ago. A fiver springs to mind (don't quote me on that though)

I bought 5.

I currently use one in a Rapido.

It's a heavy, basic piston and the rings concern me, but i've personally had no problems with them.

I wouldn't consider using it in anything revvy. My rapido is a classic used with a 22mm carb and box pipe.

The inlet side of the skirt is cut 3mm

a 70.4mm version with pin and rings is 356g... Not sure how that compares with assos etc etc...

I run 4 thou clearance and 3% oil mix. Never nipped.

I guess you get what you pay for... It'll do the job, but if you're gonna be ragging it, then you might want to look elsewhere...

Hope this helps.
