MG TD TF 1500 - Wellworthy pistons

Knowing I intended rebuilding my XPAG engine (actually in a TC) a couple of years ago I purchased some new/original Wellworthy +30 pistons complete with rings. However although marked on the outer box Fits MGTC,TD,TF they certainly do not fit my +30 TC. Their diameter is 72.5mm and depth of 72mm -as near as I can make out. They have 3 compression rings and 1 oil ring. Anyone any idea what I've got? Are they possibly for +60's? However unlike originals they've 4 rings not 3. They are marked Ref. 12755 size 2.8346" +30 type MG although in felt pen they have also been marked what appears to be MG23111/.030

They're mgtf 1500 +30 XPEG pistons

bad luck, but you'd have no trouble selling them I'd think

Thanks Willy. May keep them. My 1500 was rebuilt by a previous owner but I don't know to what specification. Will advertise and see what response I get. May go some way in placating my beloved who wonders when I'm going to stop spending on the TC restore. Cheers Jan
