I have a set of NOS BMC pistons , part number 8G 243416 on box and AEG 034110 on piston
They look just like and early factory 4 ring piston but are to suit a bore of 2.750" ??
Also got some 997 pistons , part number 12A 406 , thats a new one on me

Undersize cooper s pistons and odd 997 pistons
Has anyone ever come across any reference to prototype cooper s engine / FJ with a bore size smaller than 2.780" ?

8G 243416 are a 1275cc +10 thou Grade 6 piston
12A 406 is (and here's the bad news) a low compression 997 piston - surprised you haven't come across those before.
