Replacement Trilogy ram piston?

[lhamilton1807]

welp, I tried straightening my Trilogy's ram shaft by taping & chucking the threads, but the threads just broke right off when I applied minimal pressure. There was a leak from the hex fitting, so I needed to get to the o-ring anyway. Other parts of the ram aren't damaged.

Do I need to buy an entirely new ram? Or will a std shaft like this one work? Or does anyone have one kicking around in their bin of parts?

They are stock wgp spec so any stock shaft will work, I have a trilogy shaft I used in an old brass ram I rebuilt

That link is to an empire shaft it uses a different shaft and piston head than a standard wgp ram.

I have used trilogy rams available if that is something you need.

[lhamilton1807]

OK, so an STO ram shaft would work?

[Psycho91]

Yes it's still a stock wgp spec ram

Autocockerparts.com should have them.

yeah, looked there and they don't have the ram shaft or the ram shaft assembly. I could buy the whole ram but the rest of the parts are good...

Thx, I did see that at one point but wasn't sure. superman says he has one, so I may go that route. Or if none of these work out and I REALLY decide I need a project, I could try making my own... but probably not something I need to get into for one ram :P

I missed Superman’s post. Always good to get from another member if you can.

I’ll probably regret spending time and money on it, but screw it. Gonna try to build one from round bar.

I’ve collected the measurements and if it works I’ll do a write up.
