    Can i cut down the old spring guide & use that as the top hat, just so i can get the power down slightly more,currently 11.6.

    I think I forgot to mention that the guide I turned into a top hat only had a small flange and it fit perfectly inside the piston. It was a 1 piece job as well. It also had no play on the piston stem so it was just begging to be converted.
