It's a 1985 or 1986 MR2 piston kit. They seem to be becoming a little scarce.

I suspect this is the original post/thread at PFF regarding this mod - clutch slave cylinder mods, 13/16 dia

I have no love for Rodney, but why not buy it from him?
He has invested time and effort in to supplying us with odd ball parts.
I was even involved in the MR2 clutch slave **** show.

Spend a few extra bucks to support the vendors that support us.
One day, they will be gone.

Buddy, I don't know the last time you checked his site... but Rodney's trying to sell his business, and his stock of some parts is either running out or has run out (like this slave).

Thats why i am asking. i have made a list of all the mods i have made to my car so a future owner (son or buyer) has a decent chance of fixing her. i have Toyota, Ford and Dodge parts, a Buick motor, a Chevy brake booster and alternator. All of us shud do this for our hotrods - and my Fiero is a hotrod now.

I have "no love" for Matt (TFS) either, however I spend money at both sites......

As Patrick said above and I have been warning members in many threads that Rodney is closing his door in 2024:

I have not found anyone to take over my business. So my plan now is to take my business to Denver. But:
I am not making much of anything anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue.

Once in Denver I will probably just sell out my existing stock and as I run out of things discontinue them. Hopefully this all happens in 2024. Once we start moving out of our home here in Wi there will be a few/several months when I will not be able to sell anything.

Thank you,
Rodney Dickman
