yep, and I have also done a lot of that myself so I know where yer coming from.
..thanks again for your time
If no further info coming my way, I'm probably just going to yank the wheel cylinder and hose to satisfy my curiosity (it's gotta get done anyway).
It's what I did in the old days, then took the part to the local supplier for a match. But as some have already said, countermen[kids] today are too busy to oblige.
I can report back to this post later with the results..
