August 15, 201511 yr Hi all I have the chance to buy a spare fantic fm450 (212cc) barrel with a view to keeping it as a spare, are theese chrome bored? I'm only asking as I would like to buy it with a view to having it rebored with a new piston to keep as a spare. Thank you.
August 16, 201511 yr Author Nicasil (sp?) plated ... What is this? Chrome? Can they be rebored? Cheers!
August 16, 201511 yr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikasil If the 240 cylinder needs relining it might be worth avoiding as the work can cost around £150. I bought a cylinder with piston as a spare some time ago but as I know have two other good ones I would consider selling if you're interested?

August 18, 201511 yr Your best bet is to send your barrel and piston off to Langcourts , and have them duplicate the OE. 1/2 thou. clearance.. Fantics are tight And last almost forever with some love .....
