Thanks Declan, I will take that note. Ok, I think I will buy all from one place.

So far on my list is:

Master Cylinder
Push rod
Banjo connector to master cylinder and washers etc
Wheel Cylinders front and back
Copper Nickel brake pipes all round

Anything else I should be looking to replace?

Pretty sure you will need new bleed nipples and unions as they will be rusted solid. Before you order any stuff, strip the brakes down, then if you round any bolts and have to drill them out you can order new.
The front wheel cylinder bolts are usually a pain to get out at the best of times.....

I was going to order parts first so I wouldn't forget how something went back together but I will just have to take lot's of pictures. I'll get on with pulling everything off the car brakes wise then.

I do get most of my spares from ESM. Not done a lot of drum brake work so cannot comment on what is best, I sure others on here can provide a view on whats best.
