There are pistons perhaps that arent Morris but may still be what you need.

A chap from Wagga recently restored a 1912 Daimler Bus and discovered a Fiat
tractor piston was exactly the same and used them in his engine rebuild.

Another local resto on a Matchless motorcycle used Bedford pistons.

Thinking outside the box? May save some bucks

Yes that's true and its been done more than once. I did a basic search some time ago and I think it was Norton or a similar motorbike pistons that are the same bore size . Also some Mercedes cars of the 1960's.

The sleeving is a possible option but I am a cheapskate ! I have a few of these engines , all except one are still fitted in wrecks . It's a hell of a job removing these engines at the best of times , and doing stuff like that in Winter - forget it I'd end up in hospital with pneumonia for sure...been there and done that already, don't want to go back there.
