Is it possible to still get Piston and Sleeve sets for this old Fox .40? If so, are they the same type of construction or do they have the option for ABC sleeve & aluminum piston? Are there advantages to the ABC over the Iron/Steel?

Thanks to everyone that has posted! I really appreciate it.
In case the parts are out of production, and you are model engine builder: No problem to make new sleeve/piston set for old engines who are out of production.
I has maked spare parts to my model engines who are out of production. w8ye gave you adress to Fox Mfg, hope they has spare parts to your engine.

Are there advantages to the ABC over the Iron/Steel?
Short running-in time and less friction cause the sleeve are expanding to make more room for sleeve/piston clearance of working temperature and allow higher revolution due lighter piston weight.
