Hi Ed,
Why do you think I should not have bead blasted the cylinder cavity? I plugged
the brake fluid
passageways before bead blasting and flushed everything including the
passageways with brake cleaner.
I do not have new correct bolts. No one seems to know where to get them. Can
you get them? I don't
know the torque either. I'm following Nelson's write up at Buckeye. He reused
the old bolts and
specifies a torque, but I don't know it off hand. My understanding was it was
one of Girling's
deepest secrets :-).
If you can get the bolts, let me know.
