Default Any old pistons lying around?

Hi all.

I'm in the process of making a V6 engine end table/coffee table, and would like to use the pistons and con rods for the legs and glass supports.

However, being a 6 pot I'm two Pistons short for using 4 for each support!

Does anyone have any spares lying around that I could give beer tokens for? Not too bothered about condition as it's all getting sandblasted anyhow!

Thanks a lot.

Dan

Believe I might have a couple of pistons in the garage. Will need to check if I chucked them out or not.
Are you using F20 pistons? Otherwise I would imagine they be different sizes.

Thanks a lot mate, I'd be chuffed if you do still have em!

I'm not using F20 Pistons no, but they will be face down as the legs of the engine anyhow so the difference in size would be unnoticeable. Unless you have all four of course, in which case I wouldn't have to mix and match with mine!

Might have 3, but that's no help. The 4th is in about 5 bits.

No not at all, whichever Pistons and rods you have will be helpful, I may end up painting em after sandblasting so please let me know!

Thanks for the tip on PaulF, I'll PM!
