Yes, the picture was included.
I thought you were asking about a source for teflon buttons to avoid the metal clips. And I saw the earlier photo of the new piston, rings and clips, which led me to think you already had pistons. Perhaps that photo was just an example. I'll grab another cup of coffee!

First off spiral locks are one time use, always go back with new. With those pistons without the full side skirts I would not try the button method. By design the teflon buttons run against the cylinder walls with full skirted pistons, with yours nothing there to retain them.

I never like the spiral locks They're pain in *** to get in and out.. The regular cir-clip to work fine if you're not going over 6500 RPM..
What temperature can the PTFE plugs handle?

They can be till you figure the tricks to them, I prefer the spirals, never seen one pop out and eat a cylinder wall.
