T1 Ghias originally came with unique calipers that used only 1 retaining pin, but the replacement calipers are the same as the early t3s, using the early t3 pad, but they have only a 40mm piston. > I've just checked the parts book; the 4-pot calipers do use the early pads! > The only difference in the kit is a Type 2 retaining pin.

Look again, I think your eye wandered off one line. If I look at the description of the pad kits, I can see that the M594 kit includes the T2 pin and a special T3 spreader spring, but my microfilm does not show any # for the pads. So I cannot tell what pad size is used. This Mod was not sold here, so none of my other parts catalogs are any help. Didn't we have a thread last year that included this piston diameter. I've never seen one of these M594 systems. Part of me is grateful and part is curious.
