Well done, Josey.

Not sure if we have mentioned this before or not, but on the rebuild give a Meteor 'O' ring a try as opposed to the one sold for Airsporter / Mercury. Much easier, nicer fit. I did this following tips and advice from other knowledgeable people on here and it worked well. Re the buffer, people like Chambers and Knibbs sell them. But I have also seen recently that Protek sell some which may be more durable long term? Maybe worth a go? And others alter the head locator on the piston, lose the buffer altogether and gain some stroke.
