Looking for pistons, sleeves, and rings for the Red Diamond 450.

Hi Jesse
Probably not much use to you and a bit expensive as well, but there's a dealer in France who sells on Ebay he had the parts your looking for, i see you live in the US so it will probably be expensive to ship.
If you have the international halftrack version you will find more spare parts in Europe than in the US, as your likely aware those vehicles were lend lease and used by the British well into the 60s.
Having said that, its becoming more and more difficult to find parts for the internationals these days.

Thanks Ian. Ive probably talked to all the parts dealers in France. We ended up having pistons made here. Cheaper; all things considered.

Thought you would find something your side of the pond, i have these parts myself but am keeping them for my spare block rebuild.
Theres a guy who sells some international engine parts on ebay your side but again hes expensive, especially when you add the shipping for Europe.Ian
