MG MGA - Source for flat top pistons

Does anybody have a source for 1600 engine flat top pistons?

I can't seem to find them at Moss.

I just got a set of 30 oversize for 1622 at Octagon Motors in Vancouver, BC. Made by "County", which are made in England or Israel. These were flat top and 5 rings.
Give them a call as they may have 1600 pistons (std or oversize). Ask to speak to Dave or Colin - 604 253 4145. They will send them to USA by courier or mail (your choice).

Pistons for the North American MGA 1622 engine are normally flat tops, matched to the 43cc chamber in the "16" head. The 1500 and 1600 pistons are normally dished, matched for the 38cc chamber in the "15" head. It is rare these days to find flat top pistons for the 1500/1600 engines. The ones I see currently on eBay are for 1500cc standard or +.030, and both are dished as original.
