WANTED 1776 barrel/piston

Need a 1776 barrel and piston 90.5mm if anyone has one to sell

 

Or can anyone help with where I can buy one new separate instead of as a set of 4???

 

Never seen singles sold.

Best bet is maybe contacting an engine builder and see if they have left overs

 

They do pop up on Ebay occasionally , if you're not in a rush ...

Iv only seen 1600 ones

 

Thing is - most times somebody trashes a piston /cylinder, people just buy and fit a set of four:
Because

• The other three are also now used, so those are replaced too.
  
• You may have to accomodate manufacturing tolerances where the older P&C were made by e.g. Mahle , and you cannot source Mahle replacements for months but you can get AA which may be slightly different in height from base flange to cylinder head, so all four get replaced.

In my collection of things, I have four somewhat scratched up 1641 Mahle P&C from when I replaced them because of blow-by years back . And three quite good AA 1641 P&C from when I melted a piston. Each time, I replaced all four.

 

And an odd piston might be a different weight. I’d buy a new set (£253.78 from Limebug)

 

Occasionally but not at the moment , I've had a quick look ...

I have sold good used singles on fleebay before but have no

 

The three barrels and pistons i have are brand new ,came with a load of parts with a beetle i bought ( no idea why there would only be three) that the reason i dont wanna buy a whole set

 

Nice
I understand why you just want the one but it would probably be better in the long run to buy a new set and sell the odd ones if you're planning a 1776 ??

Cause someone bought a whole set cause they buggered one cylinder by dropping a spring down the throat of dual Webers

That’s what I did years ago, but that was in the days there were spare barrel’s everywhere

 

I doubt it they don’t look like they have ever been fitted
