Thanks again for all the help.  I got the calipers rebuilt last night after a good deal of cleaning and work on the rust.  The pistons slipped in fairly well with just a slight push.  Special thanks to Mike V for sending me the o-ring between the caliper halves.  New stainless brake lines from Spiegler (by the way their connections are male 510 and female 710 for those of you thinking of using them).  No leaks.  Fairly easy bleed and working well.  Test ride this afternoon if the weather improves...

Whata guy that Mike Valenti is. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Knows his ATE stuff, Mike does.

Ol' Bengt Phorqs and I may have to toss him a couple extra rib bones while we're chasing barbecue in Lockhart this summer.
