Progress is sometimes measured in small steps! I have had the calipers rebuilt and installed for quite some time now and within the past few weeks I managed to get the Master and Slave cylinders rebuilt and cleaned up. Then just last week I installed the new brake lines (including SS flex lines to the calipers. Today I installed the new brake fluid (and clutch fluid) bottles and the heat shield (from SNG Barratt) that protects the bottles from the exhaust manifold. This included installing the correct yellow-striped rubber hoses from the bottles to the Master/Slave cylinders. You don't want to know what these silly plastic bottles cost! Anyway, at this point my break system is nearly complete! All that remains in hooking up the vacuum system to the slave cyl. Here are a couple pics I took this afternoon with the new bottles and heat shield!

Way to go, boss!

Brings back memories. Looks great. Happy B-day a few minutes late.

Thought about you today Basil. Working on the 63, no brakes. I bled the front brakes hoping thats all I would have to do. No fuild to the master. Checked the bottles, Half to three-fourths full. Well heck, going to have to pull the master. Pulled the hose off the bottles. Middle bottle (for the front brakes)no fluid running out. PO did use Silicone fluid. The little strainer screen was gummed up so bad no fluid could pass thru. I did manage to get it apart w/o tearing it up. Cleaned it up best I could and put it back together, fair brakes for now. I will need to order kits I'm sure. Got to take it for a short drive, it rides better than my 68.

I had to clean up my little screen filters too. I called every place I could think of and no one has them.
