More brake progress

I now have all four calipers rebuilt and properly shimmed, with new pads. I had the calipers Nickle plated and the pots re-sleeved in brass, plus new rebuid kits all around.

Today I ordered the rebuild kit for the Servo and slave cyl (Master Cyl already rebuilt). Hope to have all that installed by this weekend. That will leave installing new brake lines and hooking up the brake fluid bottles.

I have decided to go with Stainless Steel, pre-bend brake lines. They're a little more $$ but I think a good investment. I'm also going to buy new brake fluid bottles as mine are old and yellowed.

I think that the stainless lines are a wise choice. They are a one-time purchase, and will be safer over the long-haul too. The new bottles will set the engine bay nicely, too.

Yes, I just wish they were not $100 each (and I need three of them)!
