| Need a new piston for the hitachi compressor |
|
Hi!
I ordered the X8R repair kit for the compressor from Advanced Factors, a few days ago, and it arrived in Sweden after just a couple of days. Very well done!
However, when I tried to repair it, the ring on top of the piston wouldn't come loose, but instead the entire top of the piston broke off, so now I sit here with a broken compressor... Does anyone have an old compressor or a piston for me to buy, and put it back together again? I really would like to avoid buying an entire compressor, if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance!

I might have one as well in the depths of the garage if you don't source one elsewhere. I see no ships........

Oh, I missed that on SLRK. Thank you so much everyone, I'll go with Peters help, since he's the nearest geographically.

Ah cool! I found a compressor, was going to pull the piston out tonight to see what condition it was in - glad you're sorted! Good luck with the repair
