I may have some of the used pistons but won't be able to check for a week or
so.
You may try AllParts in Louisiana, MO 314-754-4545. I've purchased some brake
parts (rebuild kit and master cylinder) from them a couple of times. I think
they are mostly a distributor but will sell direct if you sound really
pittiful about your search for parts...
Good Luck,
