I have managed to trash the banjo bolt threads on my original 16mm m/c (long story involving far too many handlebar swaps).
I thought I could just swap the housing, so I bought one on eBay with a broken lever that looks like the correct one, black solid rectangular like mine.
When I took it apart, I measured the piston and found a 13mm one.
So, I can either get a used m/c in better condition ($60 - $80), or I could put a rebuild kit in the 13mm housing I have.
MG Cycle shows part number 110436250 (a 13mm kit) for a EV, Jackal, Bassa with 2 front discs (which I have).
Is this the correct pump for my bike and I can get away with just a kit for $22 for the one I just got, or do I need to source another 16mm one to make the brakes feel right? And how do I tell if a used one is a 13mm or a 16mm without taking it apart?
