Where to get wossner pistons from?
Permalink  
 


I bought a wossner piston from this website: http://www.forged-pistons.co.uk/

 

could pay via paypal so that suits me. I recieved a confirmation via paypal but nothing from them

themselves saying they have at least recieved the order.

Anyway i'm thinking it might be a wild goose chase And was wondering where everyone else gets theirs from?

Yeah did see that. But when i messaged them about oversized pistons they didn't bother replying. Funny that.

That company i posted replied to me once i fired an email saying that the order has NOW been dispatched. Hang on? I made that order a week ago and you've only just dispatched it. Blatenly had no idea and it was my email that brought it to their attention.

They're a joke. I won't be using them again thats for sure. I had to email them and they said yep should with you by the ens of the week. Sorry. Where are you shipping it from? China. I've had parts over sea shipped quicker. Joke!

Update.

Still have received nothing from them. No confirmation. No tracking numbers and more importantly no piston.

Item was paid for on the 9th august and have yet receive anything from them. Not impressed.

Yeah. At like 15:00 and dialed through to pistons and something else to ring and ring then to say our offices are closed.

They replied to my email. Short and brief and said piston will be there wednesday. If it's not then i'm just putting a claim in paypal.

Right. After two emails and a phone call i finally received my piston 12 days later. 9 days too long if you ask me! I swear the piston isn't even oversized as well! Fml :@

Isn't it suppose to say +0.5 on it? Well i'm not seeing it. It's got some code on the top that ends in 50 or summit that could mean the oversize. If it isn't i'm going to be really pissed off!

 

just had a quick check and it won't fit in the barrel so i assume it must be oversize.

Don't worry. It must be oversize since it won't fit in the barrel. Thats all i need to know.

Better quality piston that has been forged and not cast. Thus this allows for better tolerances.

Difference? Well I've needed to go up a few jet sizes.

That's about it. Maybe longer piston/ring life but my mitaka piston did like 10K miles on original borel. So when you put it like that...not a sodding thing.

Oh and my mitake was still pretty good. Could have done plenty more miles left.

Wossner do decent quality pistons. But that said Mitaka do good pistons too. Provided you get the right mitaka make.
