I used the pads provided with the kit, but don't recall if they were graphite or semi-metalic. I believe I have semi-metalic on now.

I am trying to remember where I picked up my brake reservoirs and brackets. I'll try to dig through my Cobra files for the source.

The Girling tin cans look original, but they leak badly around the top cap (even when properly filled) and then the paint peels and the cans rust. I took my originals down to get chromed but the cleaning process bent the thin cans. The aluminum reservoirs I bought look very nice, though they may not be for the "purist".

Doug, In your first paragraph you said "I didn't need the rear one as the one provided by ERA was already braided stainless steel." That ERA rear flexible line is definitely rubber and ERA does not have a braided line replacement for this or know of a part number. Could you re-think this a bit, or look on your car for a braided rear flex line. Maybe we are talking about two different things here?
I am ready to place an order with Summit and this damn thing is holding me up. I can't make sense out of any pics on Summit vs what I need in the car...Ugh!
I definitely want to replace my old rubber hose now while I have all this access to everything with the interior out.
Thanks...Dave
