It seems you could save some money and use a generic piston ring compressor you probably already have like you would use to install pistons from the top of a water cooled engine block.
With the 911 cylinder on a bench install the piston from the top with one of those and push it down to the bottom so the piston skirt and wristpin hole is sticking out. Then slide it on the studs part way and install the wristpin and rod into the piston.
I havn't tried it but it seems that would work starting with #3 and #6 cylinders first on each side. Install the wristpin circlip closest to the flywheel end of the motor before installing the pistons or it may be difficult to get at them on the other cylinders after 3 and 6 are installed in place.
