Hi AL;
I just went thru the entire brake system on my 72. I had SS sleeved calipers, so I went with VB&P O-ring conversion kit, new rotors from Mid America, new pads from AutoZone, and a rebuilt M/C from Corvette Central. I would look around for specials and or sales from the usual vendors. Check out the thread on Vette Part vendors, one post listed about 20 or so web pages.
I 'm in the process of replacing the brake booster that won't hold a vac.
Cheers
