Alright you guys now your making me think too hard on this. But thats why we
have these chats.
With out having my car next to me I can't look at it, can I measure the
slave bore and master bore by simply pulling the rubber boots back and
measuring the bores. Are we talking about a fine hair of difference here
or would it be an obvious difference. My system is full of expensive
silicone and bled, so I really, really don't want to evacuate the system if
I don't have too.
My peddle is heavy at this time too with all new parts.
Thanks, Mark
