The holes ARE different, but the difference in the little hole means nothing compared to the long length of small diameter tubing that both fluids have to pass thru. If there were really a sound engineering reason to worry about this, then they should have put the same length of hard line on each side of the MC. They didn't, and the L/R balance clearly doesn't suffer. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
