I emailed omega, asking if they could make me some high compression pistons, as I couldnt get hold of toecutter, and basically they shall be stocking the same piston kit as toecutters, but you can buy it from them directly. Below is a screenshot of her response to my email, asking the above...

What's the email address, can't read it on the attachment. More people asking would likely encourage them to make them. The rings were an issue in the past, will they be supplying rings too?

Sarah.robinson@omegapistons.com and ive asked

Piston rings will be supplied

Availabilty is imement

What sizes will be available? Toecutter had 5.mm, 1mm , and 2mm oversized pistons. I couldn't get a reply to the email address. I want 2mm oversized pistons.

Ill message her when they're done

Any idea on price?

I will want a set (+1mm) towards the end of the year and I know another guy who will probably want a set too.

Are these OK to use in an L model??

They will work in any model, haven't heard a price yet. I'd guess about 20-25% more than a set of stock pistons.

bloomin eck,i didnt realize omega were now allowing folk to use all of my development work, i though i had intellectual rights on these and their design,i guess ill have to speak to them about this,luckily the rings don,t come from omega they are something i sourced and had made.
If any of you have been trying to get hold of me i was unavailable towards the end of last year as i was ill and once recovered was off snowboarding for 4 months(recuperastion i call it),while away my email was hacked as was my phone and bank(they didnt get into that) so untill i was back in April i couldnt sort anything out .

No offense Rob but I tried to get in touch with you for several months including contacting your old girlfriend. Sorry you were ill but I had many issues getting my pistons, and I never did get the 2mm ones I actually wanted. I ended up taking the 0.5 pistons since I'd already paid for them and you had no idea when you could source rings for the larger piston. Of course once you shipped the .5 pistons you sourced rings for the 2mm over pistons. But then you didn't want to swap them and offered to sell me a second set. I'd have paid shipping both ways to get what I really wanted but I wasn't going to pay for another set that I didn't need at the time especially when it took nearly two years to get the first set.

Hi Rob,
Long time mate. Good to see you back.

They mention new design, what's the difference to the older one?
