Thanks for the advice! So I found the Cylinders but the site would not let me order them as the "kit". (That's what was throwing me off) Anyways I can order them separately no problem. I'm having the shoes relined by Scott as mentioned in an earlier post.... Is this the proper front/back cylinder order??? And L60, yes I'm sure I will have to rebuild or replace my master brake cylinder as it's quite rusty and looks inoperable!!!

"#2. Use ONLY dot 3 brake fluid. Dot 4 is too strong. It will rust internals and degrade the old rubber seals."

L60Boerne. Very interesting. I really thought there wouldn't be a difference in Dot 3 vs Dot 4, but will make sure I only use Dot 3 from now on.
Not sure if I will get there.
Not sure if I will get back.

WOW...there goes the paint finish if there is a M/C leak at the fire wall!
