Hi Guys,
The wheel cylinders and master cylinder are off to a local brake specialist for SS machining and re-kitting.
They are also relining all brake shoes, and machining the drums.
Will have new hoses made as well. Hope then that's everything done!
I hope I don't have trouble with the sleeves, Riverside Autos has been highly recommended.

Should be back next week. Will let you all know how it goes.

Cheers
Bri

Looking forward to the results when you get everything all fitted up Brian.

Just remember to give the brakes a good bed in, before any emergency stopping.
Maybe a second adjustment will be required after a month or two, then you are all good to go.

Just as a price comparison Brian, I bought a set of the three hoses in rubber via eBay for $100 from memory. The two front and one rear were identical but this was for an FB, and I recall that some of the pipe diameters may be different. This was a quality product from Dr Terry’s business on line section I believe and a faithful reproduction of the original rubber versions.

I dare say the brake shop will supply a good product.
