I can't find a new piston for my 78 se front caliper... Mikes XS has been out of stock for months. Any suggestions? Thanx,guys.

Thanks so much,5twins. I ordered 2 type 1 caliper pistons,outside of ebay... $46 dollars delivered,outside of ebay. I hope he doesn't take the money and run.
I'll post again if and when I get them. Thanks again!

Wow, just checking for responses,and read my last post. Seems repeatively redundnant. Did I mention I made this purchase outside of ebay?

How do you mean "outside of eBay"? Did you get them from the same guy?

Hello, all. I Got my stainless caliper pistons a few weeks ago,and although the weather has not allowed me to install them,I must say I am very impressed.This guy is great to deal with,and I have found him to be very honest and trustworthy.I told him I would give him the appropriate word-of-mouth advertising. This guy's name is Ray,and his ebay id is taurusrainer.
I received my pistons in short order ( I was snowed-in for 9 days,and when I finally got to the post office,they were waiting for me). Since he didn't have to pay the e-bay fees,he sold me 2 pistons for $46 dollars,
delivered. Seemed more than reasonable to me,a small price to pay for something will likely out last me.
For anybody that may wish to purchase these pistons,pleased be advised that your price be greater or lesser,depending on the currency exchange rate at the time of purchase.
Btw, the quality is top notch!
And to 5twins,thanks again!
