I've just been out in the garage tearing apart the rear brake on my '77 Peugeot project. Need to buff the springs out and polish the aluminum. The chrome bolts are OK, but the shoe clamp covers are rusted. I'll buff them with the grinder wheel wire brush and leave the good chrome on the tops. The red bushings are amazingly still red for the most part. Its a simple mechanism, hope it works ok. I used modern Dia -Comp pads, just cuz I had 'em. THe Mafac levers and hoods will be re-used.
And Sixty-Fiver, that old bike is super cool! ^^^^^^
