The brake system completely rebuilt and filled with silicone DOT 5.0 fluid. There will be some clutch pedal pictures here also, as they are related.

Master Cylinder The Master Cylinder was this configuration until 1975. (23 Images)	Brake and Clutch Pedals The pedal configuration for both the Brake and the Clutch. They are nearly identical/ (23 Images)	PDWA The PDWA changed from the style that was pretty much rebuildable and had imperial fittings to one that was metric fittings with a single removable end and a single shuttle. The change over took place in 1976. The bodies were aluminum, the switches actually had to close to make contact, rather than just contact the shuttle as on MGs. (17 Images)	Front Brakes The front brakes are disc. I rebuilt the calipers while I did the front suspension. (44 Images)	Rear Brakes The rear brakes are nine inch drums. Very small. I had the drums turned and the shoes relined and arched to match. (68 Images)
Parking Brake The parking brake is actuated by a center hand lever and is applied by cable and bridle. Separate take off springs assure that the shoes fully release. (31 Images)
