Classic/Antique Car Repair/1976 Rolls Royce Brakes

Question
Dear Vern,
I have a 76 Shadow with slight brake issues, appears as though $1000.00 tends to the approx. estimate on repair of the accumulators.
Do you have a shop or work on these for customers? We're in Anaheim, CA.
I'm a fair mechanic but have repaired this brake system previously, just standard US systems. This looks a bit complex:)
Thanks so much!
Dale

Expertise

Visit my website at: http://www.classytransportation.com/ I can answer most questions about autos built in the 60's 70's and 80's. Specifically, Lincolns, Rolls Royces and the Excaliburs. Mechanical issues and technical questions are my expertise. I also have a general knowledge of most older automobiles. Keep in mind, I can only provide answers if the questions are very specific and complete. Without details, I can only speculate and that's not good for solving your problem.

Experience

I have owned and maintained Silver Shadows for over 10 years now. I find most mechanics and even Rolls Royce mechanics have very little knowledge about these automobiles. I have researched these cars in quite a bit of detail and can pretty much tell you what is wrong, if you can describe the behavior in detail. I have saved quite a few RR owners a lot of money and aggravation due to improper diagnosis. I am the owner of Classy Transportation, LLC a luxury limousine service specializing in antique cars, classic cars, vintage cars and exotic cars.
