Above: When it comes right down to it - Rebuilding, Refreshing, Restoring any Classic, Collectible or Special Interest Car is all about hundreds if not thousands of small bits and pieces.

Above: Locating the correct Cibie Super Oscars circa 1973, was a six month search. Sellers mistake "Oscars" and "Oscar +" for "Super Oscars". So I had to learn a lot about Cibie Lights before I became both a knowedgeable and experienced buyer.

Pictured Above: The original piston, removed from the engine and cleanned up. Note the custom piston shape, as well as the "BRE 14-9000 cast into the underside. So far I haven't found that Part Number listed in any of my old BRE Parts Catalogs, so this may have been a custom design.
Several of the pistons had cracked or broken ring lands, so new replacements had to be ordered. The new pistons were produced to match the originals and it took about 6 months to get them.
