Thanks for the suggestion, but I haven't seen a NAPA operating since 1997. My only local options are parts that have been sitting since the 50's and need honing anyway or auto parts stores that either have no listings for this car or the computers won't let them order the parts even if they find a listing. Can't even get a 6v light bulb around here. In talking to most local antique car buffs around here, I've found that most of the local classics have been 12v converted and are running different brake systems. A lot of them even use the antique-plate registration to avoid having to fix things like lights and wipers.
On a lighter note, I plan on having the originals sleeved with brass to avoid future problems. I just want to get some miles from all the work done this year. All my classics get full stainless steel lines and hoses with new or sleeved cylinders, master and wheel.
