    I'm putting a new vacuum piston on my 40mm CV Keihin Carb and I know basically how it goes accept about 10% unsure on the little brass collar. I believe the jet pin slides through the collar, big side down into the bottom of the piston, then the spring seat sits on top of the pin/collar. Seems the only way it can go.... am I correct?
