I have used their pistons a few times in several different engines and they are a quality product.
Comes with everything when you order (rings-gudgen- clips).
Price here in oz is around $200 AD depending on what compression ratio you want(9:1 10:1
11:1 12:1)not sure what your fuel is like over there but if its anything like ours it would pay to keep down around the 10:1 mark.
Not sure about distributers in your area maybee other members from the U.K can help.
Protec is another piston manufacturer that make all sorts of high performance pistons for big singles.Dont know much about these though.

The Wiseco of today is a good light piston that can be bored tighter than the old ones, JE make a heavier one but be warned they are file fit rings,Arias do one as does Wossner who make 3 sizes and they have coated skirts as well and are light like the wiseco.
