First of all, sorry, I meant rebuild calipers, not rotors.

=20

Early 67 1600

=20

Best place to get new pads?

=20

Car does not really pull in either direction when I hit the brakes.

=20

I=E2=80=99ll check the rotors sunday

Please remind me, what year is the car?

=20

How much lining is on the fronts?

=20

How thick are the rotors?

=20

If you compare the pedal pumping it with the parking brake on & off is =
there much difference?

=20

Calipers are expensive to replace/rebuild so I=E2=80=99d try cheaper =
stuff first. Worn out front pads or worn down rotors can cause the =
fronts to not work. Pads are the cheapest but will also mask other =
problems if the real problem isn=E2=80=99t the pads =20

Peace,

Some had advised me to find a gravel road and see what I could discover.

=20

Honestly there really are no gravel roads around here.

=20

I tried today pumping the pedal.  No difference

=20

But then I got it up to 40+, took it out of gear and stomped the brake =
pedal with everything I had. The right rear pretty much stopped.  Did it =
again, and both rear wheels left some rubber.

=20

Clearly, as I had suspected, I have no front brakes.  But when I bleed =
the fluid flows on all four corners.

=20

So where is the best place to have the front rotors rebuilt???
