Syd these are very difficult to come by; sleeving the originals is an option.0

Because they are alloy pistons they do tend to oxidise very badly, causing them to eventually seize in the cylinder. I have found this can be minimized by liberally coating the pistons and end boots with silicone grease, likeplumbers use in taps.0

Is making new alloy pistons an option, are they something simple that can be made on a lathe?0

Probably, but the silicone grease solution works. You could probably turn up steel pistons. getting the internal collar that the boot fits over could be tricky though.0

If you are going to sleeve the cylinders I have found Bronze bushing stock works
well and is ready available. It machines easy and will polish to a mirror finish.
It will not rust or tarnish like steel over time.
Stainless is a better option, but has to be seamless tubing and is very expensive and
is a lot harder to machine.

36029 is the part number from napa for rear wheel cylinders for the jet. Good luck on finding fronts more than likely will have to be sleeved0
