Ah, good old Dave Rayner. Back in the day he helpfully explained to me how Yamaha XT500 pistons can be easily modified to fit an overbored Pantah; the Yam pistons are also cheaper, and have better piston rings.
Cheers, I sent a text and phoned the number, but alas no reply. Will try again tomorrow, I have speedlines but they have corrosion and a crack or two, not sure if they can be repaired.
Not my stuff, Rod If interested in any of the above/below, please call Colin on: Zero Seven 821 9 Zero 455 Nine Or if you prefer, PM me and I'll give you his email address
It was definitely Yamaha XT500 pistons - I still have the boxes they came in, marked Yamaha. The Pantah alloy barrels were bored out until they became muffs fitted over 900 bevel steel liners, which were then bored out until they fitted the pistons. The bottoms of the liners had to be machined to clear the crank, and the tops machined to fit the cylinder head registers. The pistons needed both the skirts and the crowns modifying a little for clearance. The crankcase mouths also had to be opened out a little to fit the bottoms of the (now larger) barrels. 87mm x 61.5 mm x 2 = 731cc.
He had a pair of CMAs for sale as well, hence they were listed - I think they've been sold to someone on this forum
