Default Mart's Project Update 21/01. 32 Sedan Pt. 25. 59 Flatty Pt. 19.

Hello Welcome to Marts Garage. This is Project update No. 1 for 2021.
I unbox, clean and prepare a set of NOS ex military pistons for the Ol' 59 Fatty. Nice new parts. What's not to like?
On the 32 Sedan I Fit the rear hubs, including new seals. Good progress made.
So Happy new year from me, and I hope 2021 gives you all that you wish for.
Mart.

Mat, Never saw a stock Ford piston like that? Looks quite light with only 3 rings. What suze is it?
Gramps
PS Yes Happy new year, take care, we need you.

That seems like such an odd oversize. Maybe it wasn't back in those days during the war. Or maybe it was a European size?

Thanks for the interest, fellas.
I think the military spec'd the over sizes at +.015, +.030, +.045 and probably +.060.
I've seen the first three sizes on the French motors. I also have some ex military +.060s for the 239 and the 221s.
