    Bleeder size

    OK, ordered these prematurely. Some may know I'm doing a drum to disc conversion. These are too small. What is the proper size for '72 calipers? They are bigger than the drum ones. Also, what is the crush washer size? New brake hoses didn't come with crush washers. Thanks!

    Bleeder size

    That's what I'm thinking. I have their number in my cell now. Will call in the AM. I like SS lines. I know on my old Harleys, I switched from rubber to SS lines, and you can feel the difference at the lever, so thinking same thing for these.
