Title: Maico piston from old mate Digidave.
Post by: firko on May 15, 2013, 04:01:58 pm: What a steal at $500.78 Buy it Now. It looks hardly used at all ::). You can buy a brand new Wossner kit for $180.

PISTON IS IN OKAY SHAPE. THERE ARE SOME MARKINGS FROM HITTING THE CASE THERE ARE SCRATCHES, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO
ALL OF MY PARTS ARE HAND CLEANED! SOME MAY NEED FUTHER CLEANING.

Awww, I dunno! You have to factor in the hourly rate for the labour etc involved in him having hand cleaned the parts! :P

You mean the vice marks? Imagine how much a pair of those grips, stapled in the original packaging, with the original Franco era Spanish sunshine still inside, would be worth

Post by: Moto on May 15, 2013, 08:54:57 pm: Thats not a vice mark.Its from vice grips,there's no better tool to hold the piston while you beat that pesky gudgeon out ! ???
Title: Re: Maico piston from old mate Digidave.
Post by: Mick D on May 15, 2013, 09:16:02 pm: The marks are the impression from the front left hand cylinder base flange stud(M8 x 1.25), as the piston layed against it whilst the gudgeon pin was hammered out by an attack from the right hand side.
