[AT] Tractor hauler product needed, probably doesn't exist

[Bo Hinch]

Several years ago I contacted EGGE machine works in california to make 4 
pistons I couldn`t buy . Sent them a old one for a pattern . cost about 
200.00 back then , they did a expert job .

Don`t know if it would be worth your time to make a phone call to them .
