Synthetic top hat?

[scooterman]

Who makes and sells synthetic top hats?  I would like to change out steel top hat in R1 with synthetic.

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.

Hey I think I just found one in my tuning parts bin. PM me for details.

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.
