MG TD TF 1500 - Looking for a single .060 piston

We had a screw from the air filter come loose and get sucked into the #1 cylinder. The piston is destroyed as you can see in the picture. Does anyone have a single new or almost new .060" piston they might want to sell? I hate to buy a whole set for an engine with less than 1000 miles on it, and I've heard this happens fairly frequently.

Earl,
This has come up before over the years on this BBS.
Did you try going back to your supplier? Pretty sur I have heard on here that others have been able to purchase a single matched one in extream cases such as this. I know a few years ago right sfter my rebuild I lost a frezze plug (250miles) and melted down 2 pistons ...I don't think my builder had to purchase a complete set to make repairs.
Cheers & best of luck,
David
