Wanted, one 1600 short piston

If anyone has a short piston for a 1600 X-flow (ideally a knackered one, 'cos it will be cheaper ) surplus to their requirements, I would appreciate it.
Happy to part with beer tokens in the quest for knowledge.

Or where I might lay my sticky little fingers on one.

Any help appreciated.

What on Earth is a "short piston"?

All x-flow pistons are the same length, and have a compression height of 44.75mm, with only the size of the bowl changing...UNLESS it's an aftermarket forged piston from Cosworth (or similar) with a compression height of either 39mm, ot 37.2mm to suit a longer steel conrod.
