I agree with bigbob.

Long time no see bob-a-lu, but you really have no clue what the hell you are doing. You can't just stick something in a piece of pipe and call it a piston.

Find something that fits the piston housing really well. Bolt or glue a sealing face on (glue should be fine with low diameter), then work out a bumper and you're pretty much done.

If you still can't figure it out use the damn search button.
