        Yep, what he said. Master cylinders, calipers, petcocks. George is a great source. But stay away from K&L carb jets. Mikuni only on that.

          I just ordered EBC Organic pads, master cylinder rebuild kits, and full caliper rebuild kits with SS pistons along with Apex black braided hoses/silver Banjo (as stock looking as possible). $$$ but after 42 years better safe than sorry. Figure it will be good for at least another 42 years (I'll be 94 so probably won't be hot rodding it)

              I have used just about everything out there I think. Lately I have been buying my kits from Brake Crafters. They have kits that so far have been correct for the model years I ordered for and everything you need is in their kits. Stainless caliper pistons, red rubber grease, seals as well as brake bleed screw caps. All in one and the price is very reasonable.

                I'm interested in braided brake lines. Any tips and who to purchase them from?
