Same as this, single outlet in front.

The dual oulet MC was standard with power brakes from 65 and non power brakes from 67
I just had another look over the brakes and the LHF calliper is now leaking from somewhere (it wasn't before I drove it yesterday)
So, I'm now thinking a complete front brake kit is what's I'll need, 2 callipers, 4 hoses, 4 pads and a master cylinder.
The back looks all pretty recent, so I might just get hoses just to be safe.
Where is the place place and which type of calliper ? SS O ring or "LIP" seals ?
Thanks guys.

Clamp the LH line and see if you have pedal - if not keep going around until you do. If you don't then start with a new MC.
Any flex in a rubber line will cause a slight pedal drop.
If you can get o ring caliper go for those. I got mine from Ecklers but shop around (freight will be heaps!). Not sure if your club gets a discount.

Ponti world in wollongong https://pontiworld.com.au/usgmsp/index.php?cPath=239_242&sort=2a&page=2has the calipers recoed no exchange I have a single system master cylinder off a 65 which was working when removed for upgrade to power brake dual system, you could get that one recoed to save time
Ponti world booster & master cylinder $357, Caliper front $237 & includes a set of pads. Hoses for 68-82 $73 for 4 not sure what the difference is for 65.Ecklers lists them for 63-82
You would also need the proportioning valve & a couple of new hard lines

Mate, that would be a huge help. I'll U2U
I don't think I need a proportioning valve, the single system uses a smaller diameter front line from the distribution block (I think)
But I'll check the AIM and hard lines appear all o.k.
Dave has the calipers (with pads) and hoses (same) in stock, so I might get this thing to stop this weekend, with any luck.
And I have to drive through Sutherland to get to Dave :drink:
So please give me a call.
Cheers

I've bought lots of stuff from VBandP including braided flexi lines and o-ring overhaul kits. They have specials all the time, which helps. Shipping can hurt though.
