rear bleeder valves 68

This is odd, I'm assuming it means import wheel cylinders have been installed, anyone else's rear bleeders 10 mm instead of standard? I put rebuilt calipers from Irish place on front (disc conversion) and those bleeder valves are standard. Struck me as odd so thought I'd ask, banjo.

yea they are either replacement imports or they are just worn down.

I got my rear wheel brake cylinders from LMC about three or four years ago, and they had metric bleeders.

Man, if somebody finds 'non-metric" type wheel cylinders please let me know!

You leave one drop of fluid on the tiny bleeders and they rust until you need tweezers to grab them!
