Look at a different combo, or get a piston manufacturer to build one and
submit it for approval. I don't know what the cost would be, but it won't
be cheap or quick. If the combo is that good might be worth it. There are
not a lot of surprise combo's left in the books, so make sure it is as good
as you think it is.

Is there any kind of a OEM type of replacement piston still available? What combo is it?
I have on occasion been able to get pistons off of Ebay, get one extra, and sent the replacement and an original to California and gotten the replacement on the list.
OBTW, you won't get your pistons back!
