Lots of questions here, Doc! I don't mind that a bit! I have a small 
5 gallon air compressor that I use for sandblasting. I use it with a 
siphon type bucket of sand attached to a ceramic lined blasting gun. 
The sand is purchased from a local foundry which sells all grades of 
blasting sand. I buy the fine grit in 50 lb. bags for around $5 each.

I am trying to order a power booster with the single diaphram, but 
will have to look at what the factory sent to me when it gets here. 
It will be a Cardone reman. one for a 72 - 74 Gremlin. The book did 
not get any more specific (except that it was for disc brakes).

I have not gotten new brake hoses yet, but plan to purchase them. 
John & I will be making and bending our own brake lines since he has 
the equipment and skill to do it. 

Thanks for the advice on brake adjustment. I will need to remember 
that when ready to test them. ~Lu~
