What kind of measurements? I I have digital verniers I trust. I have a new Old stock piston.

The one I have here looks like just a hair under 16mm from the top of the pin bore to the edge of the crown (23.5mm from center of pin bore to crown edge), 42mm from the edge of the crown to the bottom of the skirt, around 3mm crown rise on the dome, 37mm across the bottom of the skirt with a straight ruler, 41mm or so skirt width when using a piece of paper.

Do you need a certain pin size? The Meteor 395 piston has pretty wide skirts. There's also the Partner K-1200 piston but it uses a 12mm pin.

I would prefer 12mm pin. I was looking at the k-1200 piston. You don't happen to have one of those do you?
