| | My RD400 has little steel pins to locate the rings.
But I have never seen those, or any other ring locating
method, on any
stock or aftermarket Guzzi pistons. Hmmm..do those
pistons have MONDIAL
cast into the inside wall of the skirt?

and
the lower ring has one at about 5:00. Like I noted in
my
reply to GH, these are out of a G-5 or CX-100. If you
have an older, iron sleeved 949 conversion, you may
likely
have these. A couple of guys told me this is how many
949
conversions were done in years back. Sleeve the stock
cylinders and use 88mm pistons from a G or CX.

remember anything like that on my pals 74 either. Does
this have something
to do with sleeved cylinders? I'm I out of date, or not
up to date?
How's it set up? Where are the pins located? For all |

picture it.
Please.... send..... more.... info...
Thanks,
