And where to purchase from?

I think HxPaul was suggesting that AF was the best place to get one to match their kit.

just a thought look at the 175 piston then look at your 150 piston is the hole for the gudgon pin the same distance from the crown also is the cylinder iron liner with an alloy jacket?

sounds like a scoot rs one they take a fair bit of fetling to get working correctly I've taken hours setting the port timing on them you may be better getting the new piston then going to Hammonds on Dock road in Connahs Quay and get you 150 opened out to suit
