Do you know when the change took place and did it affect only the front
calipers? I have a late 1974 model. As you may have seen from my post
yesterday, some months ago I ordered a set for the brakes and the clutch.
I made the vehicle date clear and pointed out the mid production change to
the brakes.
They sent me four 3/8 x 24 bleeders which I have not yet tried to fit.
Last night I ordered a further bleeder for the clutch based on the
information above. Perhaps I now need to order some metric bleeders for
the front calipers. Their mail order speed is excellent but it seems that
they have a few room temperature IQs running the operation.
