Like I said, D: They were in a bag which was in a box with the other brake parts I got with the build. Cory says the first set he got for the Hoopty (EMPI or CB) did something similar and he ended up going back to stock lines. Sartwell told him they were bad all over the hobby at the time.

I of course knew nothing of this. The threads are regular VW metric (M10-1?) and that's what fooled me.

Cory surmised that some Chinese manufacturer made them wrong and a salesman on commission pawned them off on EMPI's (or someone's) buyer anyway. This would have been mid 2000s. Pretty sure that's when most of the parts I got were stockpiled for this build.
