In theory this is a bad idea. The piston is meant to be matched to the dash pot so you really need both.

If you can't get anything in the uk I may be able to help but would need dimensions to be sure

Is it a brass or aluminium piston you are after?

Just to clarify; it is the big piston that goes into the dashpot you are after, rather than the little damper on the end of the rod that goes down into the piston?

Bob,

It also depends on whether you have 1” OM carbs or the 1 1/8” HV ones. This table (tidied up by Bruce Sutherland!) summarises the results of a small survey I did on this a few years ago.
