Hi all-

I have a 59 544 that I'm working toward putting disks on. Picked up calipers, shields, rotors, brackets from a mid-sixties 122 last year.

Finally got around to trying to get the calipers apart with air. Not happening, all three pistons stuck fast. And strangely enough, no bleeders on the calipers!

I could hook them up to the car's hydraulics, but wonder if I'm not just better off getting new calipers.

$40ish each, and I could send my old ones back for cores.

Any experience with these?

I also need a hardline to go from the softline to the caliper. Is there an off-the-shelf piece that will work, or should just just bend/flare my own?

Many thanks - excited to get started on this project at long last.
