One bleeder vs Two bleeders .... sorry, that's it. One rebuilder automatically drills the single bleeder for the second bleeder.

No images .... shouldn't need them anyway.

And the type of bolts that are used. the one bleeder has Ribe bolts and the two bleder one have hex head bolts. No functional difference.

Eric Shea at PMB comes highly recommended by many here, & offers restorations of both types at the link below, if that's what you need.

Here's a pic of the early 1 bleeder caliper on my early 73 2L, which has late (2 bleeder) fronts & early rears, as an early MY 9/72 build.

Grey Ghost is pretty well road ready. Need to change the rear hubs so the brakes work correctly and am still fighting elevated oil temps. Have a cooler installed, but may need to put it in the front.
