              Thats a very good write up. My only question is what would be the best way to remove any corrosion from the inside of each of the pistons? Did you sandblast this area too?

                            Thanks Rob
                            do you need a tight fit or rubber tip or anything? or do you not really need a seal so to speak?

                              i had brake lines cut, and used the gun on the hose, but you can do it without nothing at all. had 6 bar in the compressor btw.
