Consider Vette Brakes and Muskegon Brakes. They are both forum supporters, give good service and rebuild the calipers themselves. Ecklers is just a parts house and probably buys from them. Also consider that Vette Brakes are o-ring calipers which some prefer. I would also consider changing the hard lines that run along the rear trailing arms, the line that runs across the rear suspension and all 4 rubber hoses. Get rid of all the old fluid and any rust that you can. If the M/C is really rusty inside, you might want to change it too. Do this job right once and you will see that these cars really have pretty good brakes.
