1928 Studebaker Commander Pistons

All,

I am rebuilding a 1928 Studebaker Commander with 3-7/8" bore. I need at least .020 oversize pistons. I am not particular about replacement being cast iron or aluminum. I have 2 questions:

1. Is there a recommended source for replacement pistons?

2. Has anyone tried with success to use a standard 3-7/8" modern piston from another make with minumal if any modifications?

Thanks,

Did you ever manage to find a source for the 1928 Big 6 pistons?

I am also looking for a set of oversized pistons, any leads appreciated!!!

Or a source for piston rings, as we could rebore the engine, then sleeve and bore out to the current size, this would be a last resort though.

I got many of the parts for my 1922 Special Six from Dave and Janet Thibeault. 13 Nick Lane, Maynard, MA 01754. Tel. 978-897-3158. He's great to deal with and has good prices also. Give him a try. Earl

I had Pistons and rings made at Arias Pistons. Www.ariaspistons.com

Earl, thanks for the details I will pass them on to my mate who is looking for the pistons.

Glenn out of interest do you remember how much the pistons cost you and I assume it was the big 6 pistons that you had them make, as per the original post here.

Regards
