Malbaby Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Anyone have a source of Mahle piston sets for 6cyl 2500 engine. Edited July 10, 2022 by Malbaby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Mahle has its Stuttgart factory 10 miles from me, one of my neighbors works there at the distribution office. I pleased him 10 (?) years ago to get one set of pistons and liners for my TR4A But they are all sold and the market is too small for them to produce them again. If you want them, you have to find a set that has been stored for more than 10 years. Edited July 9, 2022 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ferrari Piston Services are there main agent here in the UK. I would speak to them directly and see if they have any stock and if they have which of there sales agents can you go to near where you live, to purchase. But I would expect them to be over £120 +vat each based on my past experience. There is always County Pistons as well. I was a sceptic about them but have had to change my opinion. Bruce.

Schnippel Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Hallo, Leider gab es nie direkte Mahle-Kolben für die 6-Zylinder-Maschinen. Es gibt jedoch Serienkolben, die verwendet werden können. Natürlich muss das eine oder andere individuell angepasst werden. Viele Grüße Ralf Edited July 10, 2022 by Schnippel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These pistons are very difficult to locate at present, here in the UK. What size are you after ? Have you considered JP pistons ? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
