I'm sure that there are other cars which used ATe calipers made from the same castings, and it's certainly possible that some of them had 42mm pistons, like ours. > Did the 411's come with one bleed valve at any point?

The lack of the second bleed valve would cause no problems, although I like them for draining out the standard fluid when switching to silicone (the DoT-5 silicone fluid is lighter than the standard brake fluids.) The only really important point is that the pistons all be the same size. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
