Re: TX200 Mk1 low power

I fitted Protek supplies part number M116, TX200 piston seal. I also sourced the spring, the bearing rings and a breach seal from them as well. They had the parts I needed and were reasonably priced. Cheers Wilfy

Re: HELP Please TX200 Mk1 problem

Hi, Just an update to the update! I will not be getting a new TX200 Mark 1 spring because to the best of my knowledge you can't buy new Mark 1 springs.
