Have a look in the parts for sale, put up a wanted ad or go on ebay.

some things should'nt be skimped on and this is one of those things, theres no point fitting 2 or 3 used pistons unless its a £50 sh**er of a car. but as its an let its worth a bit so you need to do the job properly and get some new o/s pistons, rebore and replace the beariings if theres any sign of wear

As buzbi says also save some pennies imo and upgrade to better ones. If something breaks then it's time for a performance enhancement.

My god it's like I've quoted a broken transformer lol
