Got stainless pistons in the snake's calipers, front and rear.
Not sure where they came from because I had a local Brit car
mechanic locate them for me.  He did say they were from a Jag
parts supplier, though.  They're ordered by size so you don't
have to limit your search to 'B parts places.

Tilton Engineering had ss pistons that would fit my calipers but they 
were for race use.  That means they didn't have the grooves for the 
rubber dust boots.  I didn't want to use that type so I kept looking,
but they may be okay for your 'B.  Prices were "reasonable", if I 
recall; cheaper than what I ended up getting.
