I discovered it when I was putting two repainted trailers back together. I mixed up the pistons thinking they were the same. When I went to reassemble the grey sleeve trailer (without matchbox on the bottom) I could not get it to go in. I started to put some force behind it until I remembered both came apart easily. I picked up the other piston and it went right in. So I tried that same one that fit in the grey sleeve and it was too loose in the black sleeve. My caliper is not accurate enough so I will have to dig out my micrometer and see if it will fit on the assembled trailer. I has to be a small difference, maybe a couple or so tenths of a millimeter.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

I think I've channeled my inner "Jason" as I found another trailer with the grey sleeve and no MATCHBOX on the bottom.
