Hi guys I can't find a non window full skirt piston

Aip pistons made a full circle.
Meteor is a window design. Order OEM or a meteor.

Try gardenhirespire

It looks like Dolmar is selling the windowed piston as a direct replacement for the full skirt 520/111. Here is a link showing the proper Dolmar part number and a pic of the actual part.

That's perfect but they will not post to UK which is weird

That s why meteor sells a windowd piston as replacement. The cheap aip you find for 10€ is a full circle.

Oem or meteor and you are good to go.

That one has a twin ring does that make a difference?

 

[Sepia]

Some guys will just install the top ring. I would work on the seller in Poland and see if you can get the oem kit first.

Cheers cj lol which is the oem one

 

[Sepia]

The one in Poland is definitely oem. The one in Germany looks to be oem but i can't read German and they don't show the Dolmar box/label, so could be aftermarket with single ring. The price is right - if you can't get the one from Poland, I would call the seller in Germany and find out if oem.

Germany is also a aftermarket piston. No Dolmar dealers in the UK?
