Default Where to buy bushed wrist pins?

I already bought my new pistons, but they came with press-on style wrist pins. I want to order bushed connecting rods for a full floating setup.. but i cant seem to find anywhere to buy some bushed wrist pins

Am i stuck with a pressed on setup or is there hope?

any piston company can help you out with the wrist pins. if you want a full floater your piston would have to be made for floating pins.

I have always just opened the small end with a brake cylender hone. You will need pistons with grooves for the locks though. Good luck
