If I were to replace the piston on a CASA 185 kit, would I HAVE to buy a CASA replacement piston or would I be able to use any 185 64mm piston. I have seen some great pistons at about half the price ;) Thanks in advance!

There is a "boost port" type hole in the side of the piston AFAIK, so I think it would have to be the genuine article.

Yes I see it, I have found one at Rimini Scooter Centre for £87 so not too bad ;)

I've been looking at that too, as I want to keep to a TV crank on my TV175. I've got a Mitaka piston but not sure that the position of the rings will allow me to use it in the casa barrel as the rings get a bit too close to the boost port.
