WTD: A set of ABY Wrist pins

[europeanme]

Has anyone one who has replaced their pistons with after market ones got these gathering dust, I'll take them off your hands...

Must be 61mm long...

thanks
Mike

Will have a look tomorrow. Whats wrong with the old ones?

[aelred]

Some rust on them

[JP]

Sorry have had a good look around and can't seem to find any stock wrist pins for the I5's. Got loads of 1.8t ones. 16v ABF and G60 ones but none of them are the right size.

will 7A ones do Mike? I have a bottom end here that I keep meaning to strip

[JariP]

7A pins are different size, won't fit.

JariP is right....I've tried the 7A route...thought I had sussed it and thats where the 5mm too short comes into it!!....

Thanks for looking JP...

I cannot justify the £700-1000 on ABY pistons...I may as well go stroker...and that wasn't the plan....


although I am getting a little desperate...

Believe its a Forum member. Perhaps he can help out.

Wonder whether KR pins are thebsame size as the pistons and rods are interchangeable. In the same token you could always machine some up.

aren't they heat treated/hardened to some mental level and chrome plated??...

I have thought about seeing if there are aftermarket pins out there..just need exact sizes...
