My RD400 has little steel pins to locate the rings.
But I have never seen those, or any other ring locating method, on any
stock or aftermarket Guzzi pistons. Hmmm..do those pistons have MONDIAL
cast into the inside wall of the skirt?

Like I noted in my reply to GH, these are out of a G-5 or CX-100. If you have an older, iron sleeved 949 conversion, you may likely have these. A couple of guys told me this is how many 949 conversions were done in years back. Sleeve the stock cylinders and use 88mm pistons from a G or CX.
