Tohatsu piston

[elamb]

Hello, I'm new to the group. I don't have a Bridgestone, but a 1963 Tohatsu Trailmaster 50.  I understand Bridgestone bought Tohatsu around 1964, and was wondering if any Bridgestone parts are interchangable with my Tohatsu, I specifically need an oversized piston and rings.

Any information you have would be helpful.

Do you have any specs or dimensions of the Tohatsu piston?

the owner of advanced landspeed in plymouth, wi has 2 tohatsu's on his showroom floor. I wouldn't bet on him having too many spare parts though.
if you want to reach him I'd recommend the telephone as he's less likely to pay attention to emails.

His name is Al and I don't think he has much for spares. The tohatsu's that he has sure are nice though. I spent a couple nights in a camper sleeping next to them.

I do know someone that might have some Tohatsu spares though. Not sure if he has stuff for the model you are looking for though.

I found some info for Tohatsu in the VJMC Magazine June 2011 Classifieds.
This might be of some help to you.
