Chris,
Thanks for the post. Must be the week for it. My 86 is also at about the same stage. Bled the brakes on the weekend to discover one badly leaking rear and soaked lining. A few years unused hasn't helped what looked good at the time.
... off to BGT for some new linings and cylinders to match the front.
Your 86 is looking good. I completely understand the frustration when your so close to driving :)
Stay positive!

another question on the brakes Chris.
Where did you end up getting the wheel cylinders? BGT no longer source new and would only re-sleeve. Preference is to change to new as simpler and less brake fluid to paint the drive during the process.
cheers

i bought my rear cylinders from Trade Brake and Clutch Co in Springvale/Clayton Vic and put a PBR kit through them from AutoSurplus.

G'day,
My brakes don't leak anymore, everything is all good.
i think the shoes were grabbing caus they got soaked in fluid and softened them.
drove the landy again today and it drives very good as well as it stops.
the brake booster makes a difference.
so onto the next thing, seat belts.
thanks all for your help,
Cheers,
Chris;)
