Terry,
Yep! I used to get them from a company in S.A. who has since gone bust. The
Mahle pistons are very bit as good as Cosworth IMHO. I have also used them
in some Ford Kent and Escort Twin cam engines I have built with excellent
results.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Brad,
There were are a lot of hypo L series $$$$ engines built in Canberra by a
few well known local engineers in the Datto reign of terror in the forests,
one of the best worked (still did last contact) for a crowd called Beetle
Exchange and used the spare parts dept for slugs. They were flat tops and
there must have been a good reason for such a wide usage in competition
built engines. I don't know what vw these were out of but I'm sure someone
on the list does.
Errol? did they use vw slugs down your way?

Which VW are these slugs out of? Also how heavy are they, and can you get
them in 87mm as well?
Thanks
Brad
