Default My big ole brake question...

So, I thought we were ready to take the 9 mile cruise to get ice cream and find out what belt, hose, or other was gonna blow....

Sadly, on a much more local test drive, I found out why the brakes are so jerky. Left rear brake cylinder drained the contents of the MC leaving all the evidence in a trail down the drive.

Recommended by a coworker was Kanter auto parts. But what I found was:

So I am left with the following question.....

How do I know if my inner bore diameter is 1 1/8" or 1 3/16" ? or does it matter?

Are they interchangeable?

Really wanna get this old girl on the road to take her to get a finish detail, so I can prioritize what is next. But the brake leakage kinda caused a lot of delay.

She still starts after 3 pumps on the pedal. But she don't move anymore cause I'm afraid we're gonna pop out the other side of the garage.

thanks,
deadbug
