I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

I have been having a correspondence with Ron about using one in my cast iron 225.
I hope he won't mind me quoting him the piston sizes are
"A" piston is 69.97mm "B" is 69.98mm & "C" is 69,99mm
Need to bore the cylinder to the size of the piston skirt plus 0.06mm for clearance on a cast iron
So an "A" would be bored to 70.03mm
My barrel measures somewhere between 69.45 - 69.49, so reckon I've got some scope here.
The only down side I see is if you eventually score the barrel our going to have to look for a different piston with OS available.
