 I'll be putting the '69 Fitch 140 back together soon.
I just need a check of how close the weight of the
piston/rod assys should be. 

 I'll lay out what will go back in: * minus the wrist
pin which is about 100 grams. My scale only goes to
1000 g.

#1 903.9 grams*
#2 901.3
______________
     +2.6 

#3 904.0 grams*
#4 901.3
_____________
    + 2.3

#5 904.0 grams*
#6 902.9
______________
    +1.1 


 It's interesting that 1,3,5 are heavier than 2,4,6,
 but there is little left to lighten on 1,3,5.

 For those not too familiar with grams, a large sheet
of Bounty paper towel weights about 2.3 grams.

 I think this looks good. Opinions???
