        I need the rear piston and the only ones that I could find on eBay are for the front. I did find a SS one from a seller by the name of hvccycle that measures 38mm x 41.25mm. My piston measures 38.2mm x 41.25 so I don't think it will his will work.

        Ron,

        That should work, give me a call.

          The Specials use the same piston in the rear caliper that the standards use in both front and rear; so the one you want is the HVC200106-5

          http://www.hvccycle.com/brake-caliper-pistons.html

          They don't specifically list that for the Special rear caliper, but that's the one you want...

            Thanks Steve, if Ron can't help me then I'll order one of those. I see they have an excellent return policy if it won't work for some reason.

              I've bought their pistons and they're nice pieces; you won't be disappointed.
