          1230 kits are made for the 1150s. I do not think you will be able to find one with 18mm wrist pins. Your 1100 has 18mm wrist pins and the 1150 has 20mm.
          The max bore for the 1100 is 1166 (75mm pistons) and the 1100 is 1230 (77mm pistons).
          I put a 1230 Wiseco kit in 1100 cases by putting in an 1150 crank, bored out the 1150 cylinders and added an 1150 clutch basket.
          The way to go for you would be an 1166 kit.

                  Thanks!
                  And you have to match the 1150 crank with 1150 clutch basket.

                      I was looking at MTC pistons when I built my 1230. I called them and they said they discontinued the 77mm piston 18mm and 20mm wrist pin.
                      I just went on their website and they were there just like when I checked several years ago.
                      Maybe the demand required supply?

                        Interesting, Ray posted recently they are not made anymore (street compression).

                        This seems to indicate that all these sets are made for 18mm pins.

                        MTC-S1230 if you can find them.

                          I was going by the website so a call would be advised.

                            I have a set of 18mm pin, CPs that are 77mm making a 1229/1100. MTC & Wiseco & everyone else stopped making STREET compression 18mm pin, 77mm bore pistons. I have a standing order at CP for these 1229, 18mm street pistons. The set I have here has about 300 miles on them & the guy decided to go bigger. Let me know, Ray.
