anyone be able to help is this right or not still need a reedblock and inlet manifold

Looks like a mugello piston.

yep we have found out
but can i just cut the windows on this piston as the windows are impressed on the inside of the piston or will the little slot window on the piston mess it up if you know what i mean
cheers steve

That would depend if it strays into any ports on it's travels. Can't you assemble the top end and check? If not then I would have thought you'd be safe to cut out the windows and use as is. If it does you could get the hole welded up, no need to go all the way to the bore face, just make it gas tight.
They're the same piston with different machining processes, you can see the edges of the holes on the underside.

One thing to note is that Tino's barrels and pistons might be graded like TS1's A,B,C etc. If so you might want to check yours as I'd hope that someone didn't buy that piston specifically for that barrel

thats where i havnt got a clue but when the piston is just below the exhaust port the slot window just below the piston ring is in the ihlet port but doesnt seem to be in any other ports might go to camlam tomorrow to see what i can do
