I pulled Clarke’s engine this morning.
Can access engine parts and subframe parts pretty easily
Engine mounts are spoken for
Exhaust manifold spoken for.

Has anyone managed to source new pistons or seals for these?

Thanks.
I have seal kits (Purchased from FCP), but the pistons are less than ideal.

Is the d* pistons that you need to recover these things, and I don't think they are available.

No go on the front brake calipers - need rebuilding. I am going to get parts from UK and attempt this for practice.
Smacknab - Front suspension isnt good. If you want a stop gap Ill haul off and giveaway if I deem is serviceable, but I won't take cash for it.
