It's worth a great deal T-Mar - Thanks. The problem with comparing a limited sampling of either brake is it doesn't take into account manufacturing changes throughout the production life. So I may get an early DC version, but my GC might be a much later version. All the DC's I have here had the pin/slot setup and I do have another NOS set of GC's arriving next week, but that still only accounts for a limited sample of those. Plus the GC's might have been produced near the end of the manufacturing of that particular series, before they really modernized them into the current offerings. Eventually with enough user 'FWIW' posts we will have a true sense of the real difference between the DC and GC versions - the goal

Thanks again, Don
