Darned dentists and their needle nose pliers!  On a more serious note:  Jeff, 
as far as I know all busses and cars had two cables for the hand brake.

I finished my brakes.  While bleeding the brakes I did the best I could to keep 
debris out of the reservoir but some how a mosquito landed in the brake fluid, 
which I can only imagine was a horrible bug death.  I guessed that the Germans 
didn't intend for bugs in the brake lines so I extracted the little guy with 
some needle nose pliers.

Fortunately the master cylinder was good, but a 67 should have a dual reservoir 
mc and mine only has one.  I know it is an early 67 because there are no 
reverse lights and the vin # but what are the chances it could have a 66 mc.  
Also, what years have two cables for the hand brake?

Jeff
