Hi I have a cletrac model F that I'm trying to restore. I live in n/e Ontario. Has anyone an idea where one could get a set of .020 oversize pistons. Thanks.

If anyone knows, it would be Landis Zimmerman down in Ephrata PA. He has a nicely restored model F in his sales lobby. I assume you mean the little model F from the early 1920's, or do you mean the far bigger model FG or FD, etc from the 30's and 40's?

Welcome to the Forum.  ;D

Can these be brought back?

Glen, do you have good standard pistons? Are you attempting to bore it oversized and get larger pistons? I bet those are going to be almost impossible to find, so you may be better off having it bored and sleeved back to standard sized bore and use your pistons.

The other option may be to find pistons similar in dimensions, but somewhat larger and turning them down to fit.
