install new lines, trade in old calipers at Auto Zone.
quick and simple, ... minus bleeding the system.

I'm pretty sure the don't have Autozones in France!
One suggestion would be Willcox, (willcoxcorvette.com)
or you could try Vette Brakes and Products (VBANDP)
Both very good to deal with.
Good luck!

Hi W,
Working on an old Corvette in France!!!! Very Nice.
If I may Y'd like to suggest that when you buy the new brake calipers you consider buying one of the complete 'kits' which contains all the small parts that typically need to be changed when the brakes are replaced.
Doing that may help prevent you not having everything needed for the job.
An example of what I mean is for instance item Item # DB-741K at ZIP Corvette Products.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Hi W,
No, that's not me.
That's a photo of Zora Arkus-Duntov with one of the original Grand Sport race cars from the mid sixties.
I took the photo at the Carlisle Corvette event in August of 1993.
