[Roadsters] brake part interchangeability question

[Leigh Brooks]

Rule of thumb for most roadster parts:

If it will interchange across all years of production, 1965 - 1970 it is
probably SAE.

Running changes after 1967, (1967.5 and 68-70) the replacement part tends to
be Metric.

So the brakes are the same for all years, therefore SAE.

these on a 66 1600 or are the threads different? I don't remember where the
change came in between standard and metric and when the size of the caliper
pistons changed...guy who was supposed to be getting the body ready for paint
on the 2000 came over a couple weeks ago and cut the LR quarter out and then
never came back....gotta have a driver for the Glen! nothing like starting
with a car that hasn't been run in around 15 years, needs paint, no interior,
needs tires and wheels, brakes and chrome....2 weeks before we're supposed to
be leaving for the event 8-)
