Morning all. Quick question for the experts. Apon stripping and cleaning the mercury (low power issues) I noticed the piston head on was a plastic/nylon head with a leather buffer. New one I ordered is a alloy head with a plastic/nylon buffer. Is this just how they are made now? Or did I order wrong set? Thanks all. Kind regards Lee.
The Nylon head was discontinued a long time ago, so the alloy head is the correct one for sub 12 ftlbs, there's also a steel head available for FAC use.
Even with the alloy head you'll probably still find the Meteor sized O ring will be a better fit as it offers less crush and friction.
All the best Mick
Thanks all
Ordered the service kit yesterday ordered the meteor o ring this afternoon. 👍
