Dave,
Yep, that's exactly what I did, replaced everything. On my GT6 I Rebuilt
the master cylinder, used new wheel cylinders, rebuilt the front
calipers, didn't replace the hoses, but these were fairly new anyway,
but I used brake cleaner instead of alcohol. Works like a charm. Next
time I do the Spitfire, It's getting silicon fluid too!
