1976 Brakes vs 1979 brakes?

donsmerz
I'm restoring a 1976 CB750f as a winter project. The bike has probably sat for the last 10 years or close to that. 18K miles. So I want to do all the long-term maintenace stuff to make sure it ends up a reliable, safe machine.

Scouting for rebuild-type parts, I don't see any caliper rebuild kit available for 1976. Nor any rear master cyl rebuild kit. Not good.

I have access to a 79 cb750f  for parts. Mostly, this is useless since so much had changed between models. But I see that its rebuild kits are commonly available. Anyone know if it is possible to move the 79 calipers and cylinders onto the 76?

Calipers are completely different.
Here is the front: http://www.partsnmore.com/parts/honda/cb750f/?filters[category]=chassis&filters[fitting]=custom&filters[year]=1976
Another spot, more expensive but the quality is good. http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB750F1-%28Single-overhead-cam%29/     with front and rear.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Thanks. That UK site is a good one for obscure stuff. They are the on;ly place I have seen that has caliper parts. The other link youi sent only had master cylinder stuff, unless I missed something...
