Know of a fella over here in Oz, has just pulled down his Z9 and found it has a belly full of 76.5mm pistons. Only thing is it needs new rings. Anyone have any info on a bore kit of this size or where to source rings for it???
Thanks

There may have been a 76 from an early Honda Civic, so you would use the step 2 version of that.
List the ring groove widths, and we will see what matches up.

Another piece of the puzzle:
thanks all for your efforts,the ring grooves are 1.5 mm for the two top and 3 for the oil, i want to stay with the kit i have as the pistons are in really good condition, ive been searching but so far i have only come close to the right size,im beginning to think that i may have to settle for close and then modify,an interesting thing about these pistons are that they have a machined alloy plug that fits in either side of the gudgeon pin acting as a retainer,i have never seen this before has anyone else

Normally used in racing motors.
Owner a Brit? That's the only place I know that calls a wrist pin a "gudgeon pin"
