Hey thanks for all the pm,s and contacts, ive got a handfull to phone this coming week now, l should be able to find all the parts needed for the re-build of the brakes & clutch,  compare prices between them  mainly to see how they compare against each other,...but wont get around to all for a while ive got 3 days jury duty starting tomorrow, wot a bummer!!

im an hour out of melboune in the west, but travel in to the city now and then,,,

Hi, Can anyone tell me the best place (in your opinion) to get the whole lot, ..Brake wheel cylinder rubber kits, all 4 wheels, master cylinder kit as well, & cluth master cylinder kit, & slave cylinder?? thanks...

Cooper tyres do a 185x80r13??? its close!!

Thanks, that sounds like where i'll be starting in the morning...thanks again....

O.K took the brake master cyl. off today, sludgy, gooie inside, bit of corosion & slight scoring on the inner wall, l dont know if the contamination of the fluid is from the car sitting around for a couple of years without use &/or topping up with differant types of fluid  l cleaned all the parts up & put it back into use,bleed all 4 wheels ,Now the brake pedal is extremly firm when pushed , way to firm, feels rock hard,  l adjusted the pedal under the dash to give around 1/4inch play but that hasnt helped, So im wondering Which is the correct DOT fluid to use on these old gals?? Could this be the problem?

Thanks you blokes, ill take the cylinders off and check the bores, see which avenue its gunna be, stainless or rubber kit.....thanks again....

Hi to all, Had a look around the car today im getting ready for the road, Its a 57 fe special sedan ,To find where the clutch & brake fluid are disapearing to, On the inside of the fire wall theres a trickle coming out of each one!  l havnt removed them yet, as l want to know the cure for this problem first, is there a repair kit for these babies? around still?
