Just to make you feel better (or worse!) I got 4 TR6 caliper pistons for
$52.80 CDN (before taxes).  No shipping; local parts place had them.  I
have the receipts to prove it!!

I still have an old caliper piston or two kicking around ("hey, those look
useful"), if I can find a 1-2" micrometer I can measure them.  I *think*
they are exactly 2" diameter but that's an unfounded guess.

For now I can try the vernier caliper and get ballpark figures.  These
pistons were taken from my TR4 calipers.
