Something not quite right with Wosners listing. Husky didn't make an 84 430! They had a 400 water cooled and 500 air cooled models.  Cant recall what they did in 85 - 87 but there were 430 water cooled models around.

Wosner definitely have pistons for your bike.  I bought one recently from Phillip at husqvarna-parts.com US$220 I think.

Hi, I put a Wossner piston kit in my 81 430CR and it was a quality item. I got it from Stefan at R&D Husqvarna - Emu Plains

[huskibul]

  Hey stevo,do you remember how much you paid for said piston kit? i tried my local husky dealer after about three calls and three weeks waiting got told the bikes too old ,dont think he even tried

Yes pistons will be the same 81 - 83 for sure.  You can double check part numbers at Halls Husqvarna website.  They have the parts manuals from the 80's available for downloading.

I think that I paid arpound the $300 mark for the kit - piston, ring, pin, clips, bearing

  Hey guy;s, I'am still none the wiser on whether husky 430 piston kit listed 84-88' will be right in my 83',they don't list 81-83' for some strange reason,ever the imported does'nt seem to know ,the only thing i can see in pictures is they have a cutaway around the sides near the pin that the mahle doesn't have, the size's and pin etc are the same , and people say they use woosners but they don't actually say it's that 84-88 one,should be right but need to be sure, why are they not listed 81-88' ???any help much apreciated
