Thanks,
I remember Dixie from years ago. I didn’t know they were still in business.

The original Dixie isn't in business. The remaining stock was bought up. Some leftover Dixie items are listed on the BMIkarts website. The things on Amazon may be current day knockoffs, but Dixie parts were made in Japan and elsewhere. I used a lot of their Pan and Shovel pistons back in the day.

Yeah they are current knockoffs but for me they're fine --match what's on the bike from 1970's pretty well--I could be wrong but I don't think BMI had the blue ones

Buy a lot of the new old stock stuff from BMI, some crazy deals if you know what’s what. Whole kick pedals for $3, loads of 45 pistons going currently.
