This is great!  I didn't know that they were making the early ones with two 
bleeders now.  I love the double bleeders for adding Silicone brake fluid, 
because the old fluid is heavier and you can bleed it preferentially out the 
bottom bleeder.

Do keep in mind that, like the late ones, this does not make the L & R 
calipers interchangable.  The rotation of the pistons still makes them 
different.  Of course you can change them by rotating the pistons to the 
correct position if you know what you're doing.

I guess I miss out on a lot of this stuff because I've always just rebuilt them.
