Well, after 2 new calipers, 4 hoses, 2 caliper lines, master cylinder, retapping spindle, and 8 hours on a short stool, I declare my brakes fixed. Took it out this weekend put 200 miles on it, drove it easy drove it hard and the brake light stayed off and they feel real tight. Thanks to everyone that helped with their time and knowledge. 2tonevette19812008-05-10 22:43:21

Congrats, Ed!! I bet you feel a lot better now!
Of course, now you'll need a new project to work on!
