Why do you have 8? Do you want to sell me 1? Yes, I need only 1. Or, do you want to buy 3 more?

Unless I get a Euro engine with a damaged piston it's unlikely that I will have anything except a full set of four. One good thing about our bores and pistons is that the bore material and piston coatings applied by the factory are almost indestructible unless there has been a catastrophic failure of the engine. So finding a spare piston, especially a Euro is a tough task.

I am back in Europe next month and will see what my breaker has.

No, same as US & ROW.

I am doing two builds and definitely need one set. For the second build I may go to custom pistons in which case yes I'll sell the second set. I won't know for a few weeks though, I'll let you know via pm. Otherwise I might be picking up another set from England next month, breaker has a short block in his yard that he will let me have cheap.

I may be interested in picking up a set (ish) if you find more in Europe.
