Piggyback press woes

[JohnForrest]

Having a little trouble with a new to me Piggyback press. I have another Piggyback2 press that I bought new and it's been good to me for close to 30 years.
I just got this second press a few months ago and apparently the primer plug stop is worn out on the shell plate carrier. It is made a little differently than my other press. There looks to be a nylon insert held in with a pressed in bushing from the bottom of the carrier.

Has anyone had any luck repairing this themselves? RCBS says these parts are no longer available and the entire carrier is also out of stock. I have found a nylon bushing that has the right ID to stop the primer plug from dropping below the level of the primer slide but not sure how to go about pulling the bushing below it out?

These carriers were all over eBay a month ago. Might still be there for around $30. I snagged a couple in two styles. Are we talking about the large Zamac carrier that fits between the ram and the shell plate? Seems like you might grab the setup below off of fleaBay.

Thanks Rimfire,

I need to watch EB closer. Yes that is the part I need if it isn't worn out too?

5/9 if figured out how to get ebay alerts so that might help?

I keep a close eye on that stuff as I'm an Ammomaster Auto user and most of those parts are the same as you are probably aware.

While I am waiting on a new carrier I decided to try a fix. I noticed the bushing originally installed has a step drilled in it. But it appeared to be installed upside down with a worn out nylon insert above it. So I pulled it out, took out the nylon, flipped the bushing over and stuck it back in. Works perfectly now.

Had to add a washer above the spring to keep it spaced down from the carrier the proper distance.

Hope someone see's this someday and it helps get them going?
