Anything special about these pistons?? can't you just use a standard piston that's already on a rod? I have a couple of used one's if you want but I assume your doing a re-build so would prefer new if that is the case Mike aka Phase 1 16v turbo will prob be the man to help you out

If they broke it get them to replace it or give you some money towards at least

I believe the K-Tec pistons are nothing more than standard pistons so using another new one from somewhere else will be fine.

As mentioned speak to Mike (phase 1 16v turbo) on here, he maybe able to help you out.
Failing that i see the odd new piston being sold on ebay seperately.
