Looking at upgrading my 620 coffin reservoirs with a set of goldlines from an 05 S4R.  The S4R masters are coming sans levers, and I'm wondering if I can use my 620 levers with them.  The levers I have look like the older 748/996 adjustables with the rotating dial.

I'm pretty sure the pivot sizes are different on these setups, but maybe I'm alright placing a sleeve or something in my larger diameter levers?

Pivot size is different, yes.

I believe the lever ratio, distance from pivot to plunger, is different too.

Not forgetting the micro switch tabs, which are different (?)

So...... the answer is no - you can't recycle the coffin levers.
(I'd be happy if proven wrong)

Hmmm, looks like I need to start searching for some levers.
