Going to overhaul my m775 brakes and want to get the fluid volume right for new pads but don't have the blocks. Do the blocks put the pistons flush with the caliper walls?

If someone has some to hand could they check the width for me? thanks

Not quite, no. There is still a tiny bit of movement with the block in.

Just measured one in the workshop and it comes in a 10mm (well 10.04mm but I doubt that level of accuracy).

cheers. will hunt around for something that is a bit loose.

edit: 10mm, even better. Off to measure random stuff with the calipers...
