Mike,

I flipped back through the posts and yes, yours do seem to match up exactly with the ones that gave me so much trouble. They were not leaking externally, but seem to allow air back into the system when the pedal is released. They probably work fine for drum systems and if you have a residual valve on a disc setup. But not with the stock 69 disc setup which I am sure did not come with a residual valve.

The Napa ones do not seem to let air in so they are a big improvement. But, after a couple of weeks, or months, or years of use I wonder if this will still be true. There is no way to tell that they are a problem other than air getting into the rear lines. So the residual valve still seems like a good idea.

Also I am not sure if the Napa parts are the best out there, but they are definitely better than the ones we started with.

Walt
