As far as mixing pistons in the bores:
it will now be noisier that it was before they were mixed, lucky they were not worn bad.

Yeah, no wonder I couldn't find any for sale anywhere. Realistically I coulda bought another pump and stolen the parts from that, but at that point I may as well just swap out the whole pump. I guess it could have been done for the sake of keeping the whole rear end original, but still too late now! That whole rear axle is completely dismantled at this point and I don't have any intent on putting it back together any time soon, I also don't have the gasket set. Not that I can't do it, I just don't need to. And it's much easier to store.
I guess really the only thing I was frustrated about was the simple fact that when I wanted to rebuild mine everyone said "just buy a new one" but then a year later this guy does it (still a great job, and I hold nothing against you for doing this) and everyone is fine with it, I don't believe I saw a single person suggest replacing the pump in this thread.
Like I said before, not much I can do now. And the 107 runs and drives anyway, even without the original hydro, so I'm happy!
