Where is the best place to purchase brake rotors, pads, shoes and drums for my 1970 V6 Capri.
Found some on eBay but unsure how good these parts would be.
My master cylinder also doesn't appear to be pumping brake fluid as I took a brake line off the front brake and pushed the pedal but no fluid at all is coming out.
Any opinions?

You try Yesterford
http://www.yesterford.com
 
If however you are not experienced or qualified (by the sounds of it you aren't sure what you are doing) do you really think you should be repairing / rebuilding your cars braking system.  Might be a idea to get a mechanic or somebody qualified to undertake the repairs or at least give it a inspection/ check over after you have attempted it yourself.
 
You could be like the fella who thought the bleed nipples on the brake calipers were grease nipples and was complaining why he couldn't grease the brakes as they squeaked!

You don't say where you are located, but if you were eastern/SE of Melbourne you could try Derry at BGT Dandenong. They're old guys in an old fashioned brake shop, familiar with old stuff, you walk in with a escort remote booster for example and they'll tell you what you've got before you even speak! Alternatively there's a good chance Mike at Yesterford will have something in stock but I've found BGT usually a bit cheaper. Recently had a booster overhauled by BGT and they were cheaper but Yesterford offered an exchange reconditioned unit there & then.

Thanks mate for the suggestion on where to get the parts.

I've done a complete nut and bolt resto on a Kombi before and have done brakes before so should be right and certainly know the difference between the bleed nipple and a grease nipple,

I'm in Northern NSW so will problably give Yesterford a go.

Cheers

Probably better and cheaper to get the master cylinder sleeved.
