I have not had this issue - though you probably do have a choice of ring set=
-ups, etc, and they may actually make them to order.  Sounds like your guy j=
ust got someone who did not know what they were talking about.
Happy to send you a copy of a receipt for one of my orders.

Is this how everyone else get=E2=80=99s their pistons from Venolia ? If Veno=

Thanks as always,

I=E2=80=99ve ordered a few times from them.  The first time I sent the a =
piston to measure and they replicated it exactly other than bore =
diameter, and most recently I knew the job number for the piston order =
make ten years ago by the previous owner, so I just gave them that =
number and the 0.040=E2=80=9D overbore size I wanted.

Some manufacturers I=E2=80=99d contacted required a minimum order of =
pistons or a certain dollar minimum.  Venolia was willing to sell me =
just two new pistons for a 1936 V-twin motorcycle engine for a very =
reasonable price.
