Keep in mind that the front calipers on TR6s changed from SAE to Metric
threads sometime during the life of the model (the Moss and TRF catalogs
describe this). And yes, the bleed screws threads are affected, at least on
my car they are. That, coupled with the possibility of non-original calipers
installed by a previous owner might make things confusing.  If you really
want to be sure, better measure what you have in there rather than relying
on theories. Best to just order them once I think, less down time that way.

BTW, the rear cylinders are all the same thread AFAIK. (The 76 rear
cylinders were a different bore size though, 0.75" vs 0.70" for the earlier
cars).
