Be careful moving to a light syn TH in higher powered guns. They are usually tuned for a specific piston weight and the piston weight includes the TH weight. Reducing the weight without adjusting the spring could reduce power or eve increase piston bounce.

Vortek sells them. I picked up about a dozen a few months ago and as I recall, they were less than $4 apiece. Don't forget, when you use a synthetic Top Hat, you have to put a properly sized steel washer between it and the spring or the continued action of the spring on the face of the hat will chew it up in a hurry.
