brake calipers - Haynes has got it wrong

[Austin]

In my haynes manual it says on the TA 650 the upper and lower front brake caliper pistons are different sizes, even the specifications at the beginning of the chapter gives different diameters for the pistons.

Mine aren't. Evidence........

its a lovely feeling when you finally get them back together and it works

the jury's out on the "it works" bit. I left the front brake lever pulled on last night to dispel any last remaining bubbles and found a couple of drips of brake fluid on the floor. It could just be residue from the mess I made dismantling and bleeding them as the lever feels as tight as ever or it could be a small weep from one of the seals. In which case, hey ho here we go again
