I think I had that problem a wile back and if I remember correctly I used the long rod off the old one that was gefunked and put it on the new skirt and it worked. No idea which carb it is on now but they are all working. Even so your fix is probably a better one Ron as your skirt will stand up to modern fuel with ethanol.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Vic,
Check your mail-box probably Monday; hope to hear how they worked.
David,
I was never able to swap the skirts without demolishing the piston, but these do ignore the issues with modern fuel formulations.
BTW, these will be on the web site probably next week (after the Pre Mat management gets some decent photos; jeeze, why is management always so lame?)
David,
Tried to email you; old addy.
Please contact me here: https://precisionmatters.biz/contact.php
OK, both Tim Berardelli and Vic have tested these now; they work.
They work as advertised, adjusting the way the shim washer math says they should, and maintaining the adjustment for as long as anyone has yet tested.
The pistons are available from Swiss Army Vehicles (above) for ~$40/set of two.
The Pre Mat Spiders are in-stock at $57.20/set of two.
They are not yet on the web-site, awaiting some additional work to batch to the Pre Mat web-guy; call it 'soon'.

Those are PDFs, so there's no editing possible:
$57.20/pair, and they ship via USPS 1st-class; $0.50 for two, call it included.
