One assembly that definitely needs to be working well.  Now as good as when it left the factory 40 years ago!

This is the first time this was opened up and taken apart in 40 years! The grease had hardened to the point where it had to be chipped out.  Now working like the day it left the factory.

This is probably the most enjoyable part of the restoration for me, going through all the parts now that they’ve been cleaned, replated etc. and rebuilding each assembly. Today it was rear calipers and the shift mechanism. The 40 year old grease in the shifter had to be chipped out it was so hard. There is no particular order in this part, it’s just what I feel like when I get to work.

The master cylinder, brake balancer and equalizer rebuilt, replaced and powder coated.
