Well I had ordered correct rear wheel cyls by the time you posted  
this ($8 each). I think your solution is actually better; I would  
have a range plus and minus to dial the brakes in. If the cyls don't  
fit or don't do what I want I'll by the valve from Summit -- it's  
$40. Not bad. Thanks for the great idea.
