I think you're being over cautious. JP have been in business a long time. Just use it. Look at the piston aformentioned

Most pistons are cam ground. So the diameter from front to back is bigger than the sides. With JP pistons use 4 thou clearance or it will nip up. There are long rod and short rods with AMC singles. By the position of the gudgeon pin on the ebay one it is a short rod piston.

Any decent engine reconditioner. I had it done about 30 years ago by a backyard machinist. They may have been Morris minor or Mini shells.

Seems that Wetdog is one of those annoying hoarding types who never parts with anything until it's totally unuseable or you drop dead and the stuff ends up in a dump. Me, I always try to help the motorcycle fraternity by moving parts on! Try and be a little realistic with your stashes people.

They are fully floating type bearing races. No way can you convert to tapered type. Just buy them off ebay tightarse. You're lucky they even make them. 10 years ago you couldn't buy them anywhere.

Believe it or not the old jag didn't overheat until i hitched up to an old blown up rambler and towed it to norsdan about 400 km. An English family were stranded in the middle of nowhere. They paid for the petrol of course. Then i ran out of money at Coolgardie!
