Here's mine. Ace Hardware Banner Red spray can. Even with the siren and "Fire"light, they still won't let me drive as fast as I want[ATTACH]
That's the one. To be clear, are you saying I need smaller, 1" bore m/c ? As well as residual valves ?
Heard of that. Will pull a drum and check it out. (Note:. Everything worked great with original m/c, all new parts installed just before...
