OK, who sells magnetic plugs for MOWOG gearboxes? I'd be willing to order from Canada 

>> See attached.  I replaced the so-called “2nd type” with the previous type which is the brass hex nut with filter which bolts into a bolt in the bottom of the pump. (I think that big flat plug in the 2nd type is a wretched thing. Why did they do it? The hex is much easier.)

Once you’ve got that sorted out you can buy 2 or 3 of the magnetic rings that sit in there. Per:- MAGNETIC WASHER - DRAIN PLUG (ahead4healeys.co.uk) <https://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk/MAGNETIC-WASHER---DRAIN-PLUG-id3338.aspx> 

As to overdrive pistons, I had a fairly torrid time with those quite recently. I should be inclined to ask Dave Twigger at Overdrive Spares. I’m pretty sure that he sells all types ie the AHSpares version, the original type and – I think – the DW type. He supplies them to all and sundry. Ask him which he thinks is best for your application. 

I didn’t see the washer inside the piston casing in any of the photos. Most people insert them these days and I think they claim an extra 20 or so PSI.
