I think that design of the Wiseco piston needs to be changed for the LT500.  Wiseco want about 8000.00 to make a forging die to my specifications. There is additional cost for programming and machining different skirt profiles from the handful of what they call there standard profiles.  I would probably need to charge 300.00 or more for a piston to help recover special programming and tooling cost due to the small number of pistons produced. 

Have you contacted JE pistons here in Huntington Beach they do a lot of aluminum pistons ( I can buy there screw ups from the local metal recycler around the corner)?

No I have not talked to JE.

Wiseco and JE are both owned by Dover Dirversified Corp.  the last time I checked. 

10 years or so ago, Dover bought Wiseco, Carrillo Rods, JE, Vertex, and a hand full of other companies.  I heard the smart guys at JE quit and started CP pistons not long after Dover bought JE.

My design would require new dies an would not be able to use any of their existing dies.  I have not seen any companies making any two-stroke pistons like my proposed design.
