Title: BSA M35-10
Post by: Cees van Rhijn on 17 Nov, 2019, 14:48
Hello, I'am frome the Netherlands and I have the next question: I need a new piston for the M35-10
Diameter 86 mm. What is the best use: the piston of a BSA B33 (500cc) (M.Y. 1946/1953) fit but has Valve clearence machined in the top. Wherecan I find an piston without this valveclearences in top?

Cees,

You can use that piston without any issues. Please note that the standard bore for the B33 is 85mm so you need a +1mm/.040"OS piston if you need 86 MM.
