Default VBP brakes

After deciding not to sell my 71 needing brake work I took a drive up to St Pete yesterday to see the guys at VBP.. They hooked me up with "O" ring calipers lines and pads for 372 bucks out the door. I just took it for a drive and about stuck my head thru the windshield.. I have never driven a C3 with good brakes..They have a lot of great products there( I was so tempted to buy a truckload of stuff) and the staff is great. I know most of their customers won't get a chance to actually go there so I just thought I'd pass along the recommendation...

back in 2005 I sent my 4 calipers to them for rebuilding with the O-ring piston kit installed and I was very pleased with the results.Still stops on a dime.

I bought 4 new Delco o rings from them on 12-2004. I developed a leak in the front caliber this pass week and after seeing this thread I gave them a call to see what options I had. Well, with hesitation they are shipping me a rebuild kit out today for both front calibers "FREE"
Way to go Guys!
