Sorry, can't help directly, but I did have forged pistons in my old X-Flow. They are in DieterS47's Series 4 now...

I'd suggest chatting to Chris at The 7 Workshop - www.7workshop.com

He's great on X-Flows.

Burton power might be a good place to try, they have loads of performance ford enigne parts in their online catalogue.

As Pikey said, Burtons sell Accrilites which as good as you will get for your money. Cannot remember the cost but prob about £600 a set. if yours is a standard supersport it SHOULD be 83.25mm bore. Accrilites sell a 83.5mm piston which is all should need all being well if it is only a general rebuild. You shouldn't really go bigger than this if you have a 711M block either.

You could fit Lotus twincam pistons with the crown machined off slightly. Make for a much lighter piston which is good for your rev limit. Retail around the 400GBP mark. I have used asso pistons like this in the past.
