MG MGA - Std original MOWOG piston for a 1500

I am looking for a used original MOWOG piston for a 1500. Must be std and in good usable condition. I will also consider a complete set if the price is reasonable. Must be original Mowog. Any offers please.

Hi Ken,
thanks pal for your kind offer. Provided that they are original mowog pistons as fitted by the factory, and they are of standard size, I will be very interested. To be honest I only need one to make up a set, as I had broken one some time ago. But if you are not prepared to part with only one then let me know the price and I will come back to you. Yes some photos will be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi Mate, Ill try and get some photos in the next couple of days..
The pistons are marked MOWOG on the top Im no expert but they look in good shape (more than usable ) No scars on the walls , They do have som pitting on the face but i dont think that will prove a problem.

Thanks Ken, I'll have a look at the photos if you dont mind. You did not mention their exact size. Are they standard? My engine is a 1500 with a standard size bore. One more thing, would you be willing to let me have one?
Many thanks.

Hi frank,

They all came out of the same engine that has now been re bored to .010 Plus ( I cant see a size on the pistons )..
All the piston faces have some kind of marks but the wall are all clean and free of scars .

I'v no ideas as to price .............

Hi Ken,
Tks for your trouble of posting a picture. Yes it is rather small. There must be a way of making it larger, but I've no idea how. As for the price, what can I say, they are your pistons and I'm sure you can figure out a reasonable price, keeping in mind that I will have to fork out the shipping charges. I shall be very grateful if you can sell me the best one you've got.
Many thanks.

OK Ken, please find out how much the postage costs would be and let me know. I will be paying you in £stg. by cheque drawn on a UK bank. If the postage is not sky high I will send you one cheque by post and await the arrival of the pistons. Is that OK?

Hi Ken,
would you possibly have a paypal email account? If you do I will be able to send you the money instantly. BTW here is my email address so that you can contact me via email and we can exchange information such as addresses etc. Please contact me asap. Many thanks.

You can enlarge the image, but any enlargement loses definition.

Thanks Mick, much better photo. Although as you say with enlargement the picture definition suffers a little, your picture is OK and I can see the pistons quite clearly now.
