@#*&%*# Metric!

I got lucky in refurbishing my front brakes, a little bit. The left hand side came apart very easily, steel line turned right out of the flex hose and the cylinder bore was like new even after sitting for 15 plus years. A quick hone and a fresh set of cups and it was good to go. Took the right side apart and its a different story. The cylinder looks like it was soaked in salt water for a 100 years. I ordered in a new cylinder, Raybestos part # WC18291. Took it out of the box, and no casting numbers like they used to have, just Made in China and the bleeder fitting is METRIC Not that I'll ever have the car judged but it was nice having a vehicle that only required one set of tools. Even the last bastions of what was once a mighty industrial empire are giving way to globalism
Ah well-end of rant
