I notice Lotus Supplies no longer has them listed.  Renault16shop still does though:

Liners and pistons are a matched set.

If my current pistons cannot be reused I may get JE to duplicate them.
Their price for custom four cylinder and V8 is the same at about $1K.
Since so much of the price is CAD and tooling I wonder if I could get a significant savings on two or more sets?
LA Sleeve has cylinders.

Tell 'em you need eight pistons then.  ;)
