Thanks for the offer to rebuild these suckers. I have rebuilt the 
calipers on my Porsche and know that doing a good job with the 
original parts ensures great brakes. I have posted some photos of my 
calipers and the master cylinder for you to look at. These pics are 
at:

As you can see, one half of one caliper seems completely frozen. I 
have been unable to get the piston out. And the others were tough as 
well. Let me know if you think these are salvageable and then I can 
figure out how to take you up on your offer. And what can I do about 
replacing the seals on the master cylinder. This is from the '68 and 
I like the dual circuit aspect and so want to use this on the car. 
Can I get these seals or do I just look for a rebuilt one? Thanks ...

Dave
