Help finding pistons bobcat 722 Ford 1.6

I can't find these pistons. It's a late 70's bobcat 722 with a 711m Ford 1.6 engine. It has a flat head so the dishes pistons have valve reliefs cut in them. Piston is an AE 18684. +.030" oversized.
I bought 18649 +.030 pistons from jensales but the crowns are much smaller and they will clatter.

As the 1.6 Kent motor was used a lot longer in the UK, I always check there for parts rather than the US. Here's a place that may have what you need.

Piston set (4 off) 1.6 Ford X\Flow OHV Kent Pre-711M 68-70 (chambered head) +.060" 18684\060

Only suitable for early 1600 Kent engines with chambered hea....

Best of luck...

Solved: the stamped information on the inside of the piston is incorrect. After removing the carbon the actual piston number on top is 18649 .060. that is why the 18684 .030 had too much piston to wall clearance.
