Powder coating is a little more resistant to brake fluid lifting than what paint is.

The inside fitting port looks exactly like Glenn's picture!

Guess I would still be wondering if the 375-400 degree heat affected the residual valves as it sounds like you didn't remove them.


Pedal ratio isn't to bad to figure out. Long side measurement (from pad center to pivot center) divided by short side measurement (pushrod pin center to pivot center) equals the ratio. '40 pedal picture as an example; 12 divided by 1.875 = 6.4 to 1 ratio.
