Read your post and thought that I should tell you what I told Brad a while back, the fellow from Greece (Dandrikopf) does not know squat about what he is selling and advertises Meteor pistons but has a little clause in fine print that allows him to substitute any other Quality piston for the one you order.Its a legal way of bait and switch and I have first hand experience with him. He also claims that the Stihl MS 440 uses a piston with a 10 mm pin because his supplier says so and that you can`t fault him because his supplier would be the one at fault,not him. However if you are willing to loose the shipping costs both ways he will refund the cost of the piston only.Not a good way to do business. IMO.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I remembered reading about that, hence the question about the greek guy.
Thanks Lake for the heads up at cheapstihl parts, I will give them a message. Ultra might be able to hook me up with one too. This 026 is almost mint and would like it to be a strong runner.
