Thanks Dave for clearing that up. Now that you mention it, it is the
pistons that are no longer available. I know there was a reason I am
hanging onto the newer type calipers.
Thanks to all who pointed out that the kits are still available.
BTW, On the gas tank issue, It looks like I'm back to patching the old
one. The new one I located turns out to be a later type that has a
suction tube instead of the gravity feed.
