I looked up the pistons on the Isis price sheet I got about a year 
ago-disc brake piston for 59-66 are $76, but, oddly,for 66/67 they are 
only $24.Lucas catalog shows your part number for piston is #64325404.Did 
some lookup-this is the same as Lotus-Cortina '63 to Sept.65.(getting 
more obscure here.)I'd try Dave Bean Engineering(lots of Lotus stuff) 
@209-754-5802 or Isis @415-433-1344.
