I guys, I wondered if any one had got a pair or a set of 1776 gudgeon pins? these are 22mm diameter and 75mm long.

Thanks Rob

Rob,
Silly question but do 1776 pistons use the same gudgeon pins as 1300 to 1600 pistons?

Alas not, they make them longer as the diameter increases. So as to spread the load better. You can not buy them new, so hoping to find some decent used one's  ;-)up

I thought that's why teflon buttons were different lengths, to take up the wider gap from the end of the pin to the cylinder wall?

Could you use standard pins and match the gap with the right length button?

That is an idea, but on the pistons I have, there does not seem to be so much support for the gudgeon pin at either side compared to 1600 ones. So still hoping to find some longer pins ;-)up

Cheers Rob
