While the crowd gathered around to watch the monkey's antics, and fill his tin cup,
I am sure the guys "cousins" worked the crowd emptying pockets....


I guessed that you being from NY, you'd know what I was referring to.
When Jim mentioned monkey face; it's the first thing that came to mind. :D
Now, back to calipers....

I just found it funny that I never noticed those before.
They blend in really well when in those wells.
But the fact no one ID'd what they were was the funny part.
Its really the 1st rebuild I had to do on one of these.
I know I am going to scrounge up an ex caliper now that I am done fighting with the seal around the piston.
No way can I get it to stay around the retaining ring/clip and over the groove on the end of the piston.
