Victoria British shows a set of 9 to 1 pistons at 224.94 list and 179.95
sell. Thats 25% markup. Expensive gravy, if you ask me. Spitbits shows 9 to
1 piston set at 145.00. Maybe I should get my torque wrench calibrated and
do like Roberts says, but I am sure the shop can do it better than I. They
will charge me 300.00 for disassembly and reassemble. I think thats very
reasonable. The 25% markup is hard to take. Must be the Scotsman in me.
