I ordered the slave cylinder from Quebec and it finally came but was a day late. OK, at least I have it. I open it up and notice 1 of the ports is a larger size than the other. I try my 1/8NPT fitting in the smaller hole and it won't go. I'll just go and get the proper fittings/adapters for the brake hose and a differentvthread bleeder. I went to 3 different places and they couldn't match the threads to anything. 1/8"NPT is close but the threads are 20 tpi and just a little small. The larger port is also about 20 tpi and a little small for 1/4"NPT. Being Friday it's too late to get a response back from the supplier. If the warranty would still be honored I was thinking of retapping the threads for NPT using brake fluid as a tap cutting oil. I'd also want a partial refund to cover the cost of buying taps and retreating the slave cylinder. I guess the 1st thing is to see if I just got a bad part but if they're all the same would it be better to send it back on their dime or if they would still honor the warranty (that it works properly) and offer some discount, rethread it and make it work? If I could get $50-$100 off wouldn't be too bad. A rebuilt one is about $130 more before any discount for having to modify the replacement. I am so pi$$ed off. If it would have at least got here on time I could have got an answer today what they would do.
