I always go to the local bearing and seal monger for bearings and always try to get stuff made in the USA. I have, however taken in a bearing only to be told " they don't make this bearing". But you'

OK, I'll take a whack at it. Hydraulics seem so simple, until you start to work with them in the real world... If you have a 1 square inch piston to which you apply 10 lbs. of force you get 10 lbs. p

If memory serves, the brakes are the same diameter but a quarter inch wider. Increased swept area should be a benefit for stopping. Bill 1970 GT-6+ ___________________________________________________
