OR you could drill out the locking pin, unsolder the piston body from the piston front, and shorten the rod of the piston your are working on?
Maybe make up a new piston front and use the piston body and rod, shortened to give you the maximum stroke available with these components?

That's a lot more work than you'd imagine, Evert --- it would be quicker to build a new piston from scratch.

I still think starting with a 99 piston would be the quickest option, but until I have one in my hands I'm only guessing.





All the best Mick

For me it would be easier to use the original parts. I have a good lathe, and am fairly comfortable with its use.
But my milling equipment and skill is less than mediocre, and I'm not comfortable with the hardening needed to make a new piston rod.
