Title: Meteor Pistons
Post by: farmboy on October 28, 2016, 10:15:23 pm
Went on the Meteor site last night found only 2 Mac pistons.  They must have discontinued all the rest.  Wanted a 47mm to try in 359 Husky.  Can't remember the Model.  It was the last one in the (old) list.  I've got it written down in one of my notebooks.

Asked Janie for 2 years to order me one.  she never got it done.  I didn't remind her often enough as cash was tight every time I thought about it.
Guess I will look in other places.

Why would anyone make a piston for a McC today - I fail to see that there could be a decent sales volume?

Of course they could list it for McC as well, if anything they make for another model fits the specs, but I guess that's about it?

I've ordered Meteors from both Israel and Greece more than once. Service was always good.
