RE: Disc brakes.

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no idea at this point in time what size the piston is in my
master cylinder. All I know is, it was for a disc brake Mopar early 70's
car. I'd have to go back and see what the part number was for the MC and
then go to the place I bought it from to have them back check what car
it is for.
