The other caliper wasn't as bad, but it's just rusty fluid.

This the flexible over the axle rear line.

Probably just as well the rear brakes never really developed pressure as the line would have went pop anyway. I think this is the original hose, I could snap it like a pretzel. The front lines have a date code of 1995 so those are old and need replacing as well but were in much better condition than this.

This is the 1968 brake valving assembly and those fittings are seized on there. I just cut the lines as I already knew it would be best to make as many new lines as I could from the fluid contamination. Speaking of which, how does that much water get in brake fluid from a car from the southwest where I count on my fingers on how many times its seen rain in its life.

This is the rear brake proportioning valve from the assembly. It's just packed with crap.

There's 2 specially moulded seals in the proportioning valve, this is one of them and it's packed.

This is what it should look like.

This is the spring inside.

It's just full of slimy nasty stuff.

I removed the bottom plug off the shuttle valve and it's just full.

It's all bad...... all of it. This is as far as I went with taking apart the original valving, in the rubbish bin it goes, all of it. The whole brake system is contaminated and it needs to pretty much all go.
