Title: Vintco
Post by: retaRD on February 18, 2019, 11:43:58 AM
I was at a dealer expo last weekend and talked to the Vertex pistons rep.  He informed me the original owner of the company just started a vintage parts company specializing in pre-'82 parts, mainly two strokes.
Has anyone here heard or seen this yet?

I'm curious who is manufacturing the pistons, maybe Vertex...?

That's what I thougth at first. Same MOS2 coating, but the Vertex pistons are made in Italy and these seem to be imported from Germany

Yes, I'll agree they look to be Wossner forged pistons...when I looked at the RD350-400 kits.
