GSL-SE rear caliper pistons

Does anyone know of a source for rear caliper pistons for the GSL-SE?

Would like to get new ones if I can. Rock Auto sells pistons for the fronts but not the rears, so I figured there may be new ones available somewhere, I just cannot find them.

FA18-26-660A NLA.... i would suspect that the FC/FD rear pistons are really similar.

I looked them up and they are the same diameter, but I dont know if the threaded part of the E-brake mechanizm is the same, since they are only about ten bucks its worth a try I suppose.

Thanks

Never found a source for new pistons, but I did more research and found that the pistons for the GSL-SE are the same as the GSL. I had a bucketfull of those so I took some apart and found good pistons I could use.
