wow - I was not aware that the factory no longer supports the mono! I
wonder why they still have it listed as a product on their website?
That's terrible (& sad) news.
WRT to the piston, my 2001 kit's piston is also badly corroded and I too
was looking for a replacement. With this news I guess if I didn't want to
upgrade to the Beringer I would simply take the piston to a local machine
shop and have them duplicate it (It is a very simple part - if my EAA
chapter's lathe wasn't so wobbly I would have done one myself ;-)
