Hanging piston

I was looking and I think the hanging piston on the rear from the tow hook looks cool, and no flaming please, just wondering what pistons people use for these? Mainly just looking at size.
Thanks!

I seriously hate when people do this. Have you ever seen someone hang a rotor off their bumper?

^That is exactly what I am worried about. I was figuring a small like weed eater piston or something similar wouldn't hit? I mean I guess I should try to measure and the max size I can use but I am sure someone uses one that doesn't bang around everywhere.

Some gas stations sell piston-shaped keyrings... easier to find/cheaper that salvaging one off of an engine, smaller/lighter so it may not hang low enough to bang against the car.
