Is it just my imagination or is the construction manual
completely, totally, utterly silent on this part of the
installation?

I don't remember what the manual says, but I do remember that
there have been several iterations on the pedal/master cylinder
end, and on the caliper end. I have the "original" Matco calipers,
and have had one fail by cracking and another failure due to a
combination of cylinder corrosion and O-ring wear. Fortunately
neither resulted in an accident, though the latter caused a little
pucker when I wasn't sure whether I'd be stopped before I ran out of
pavement.

Many here on the LML have recommended the Grove replacements,
and I'm giving that some consideration after a full day yesterday
workingon the Matcos.

Not having to separate the wheel from the disk to change the
brake pads is a strong selling point.
