Banjo bolt size?

Heheh, still dealing with the MC, front caliper pistons, and now might be buying a new MC. However, my 77 650 has 10mm x 1.0, or do I have 10mm x 1.5 banjo bolts? I'm making sure the MC fits the bajo bolt obviously and I'm not sure. BTW, here's some links for MC's I've found lately.

www.wilwood.com/MasterCylinders/MasterCy...?minorname=Handlebar Master Cylinder

and

motors.shop.ebay.com/usa-motorcycles-inc....c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

Also, I can't get the iron bracket out of the caliper, mostly because I can't get the piston out, it's frozen, (on both calipers) so if I get some air pressure going to loosen the piston, can I do that with the black iron bracket in there if I'm carefull with it? Thoughts are appreciated.

That's just the issue, can't get the bracket out. It does not rotate out, believe me. How do I get the 4 rubber boots off w/o ruining them, they're in the way.

just roll them up onto themselves,they should come off .
ive got plenty of extras if you need them B)
once the bolts are out you should be able to spin brackets one way or other to get them out B)

Had to pop them out with air, they were out too far, couldn't rotate them out. Worked though.
