Baines Racing had a couple of sets made Matt Larrett bought one set and Matt Lawson had the other set
As Nelly says it was discussed with him about getting some made for the 583s and he made some progress and I think the price worked out at around £330 for a pair of complete pistons including the VAT which was cheaper than the Arias pistons from Baines Racing, the race committee at the time was willing to help with the purchase providing there was enough interest and if a couple of entrants came forward with a deposit.
Delivery would have been 6 to 8 weeks once they had been provided with a sample, as it turned out no riders came forward, possibly put off by the delivery time which would have been after the season started and secondly because Baines had managed to provide an alternative
