As far as I know all Invaders used the same piston.  The 4/6 is a little different in that the ring gaps are in different locations.

Just ordered 2 sets of new 4/6 pistons for $65.00 CND each + shipping. Couldn't find them anywhere till I called a sled wreaking yard down the road. Not sure if that is reasonable or not.
