    Here's some pictures and some measurements

    rear brake line to caliper, small hole is aprox .080" large is 3/16"


    rear caliper


    front caliper


    inside front caliper


    inside measurement of front caliper


    I tried to put the front caliper on the rear today but due to line connection location on the caliper I couldn't, the axle was to close or the medal hard line part was to long however you want to look at it.
    I tested the rear calipers by them self's using a recirculating line back to the MC from the unused side. I swapped lines on the MC to the rear and had just a bit better braking from the front side which is putting out more volume. Still it took way to much foot pressure to stop the rotating axles.
    When I look at the caliper brake lines and see the hole size I wonder how the small hole effects things or doesn't effect things.
    11 " rotors on front and back.
