[T3] 65 notch brakes

[Ray]

I apologizer ahead of time, by email program did not keep my old emails, so I need to task again.

I have a 65 notchback and I need new brakes on the front.  The front right wheel cylinder leaked and the pad is separating from the back.  What’s the best route to take?  I can’t seem to find actual front brake shoes for a 65. I have heard about getting rear brakes and modifying them.  

1) Should I switch to disc?  
a. Is my front end compatible with later model stock brakes? 
b. I assume It would require a new master?  
c. Were all the T3 front ends ball joint?
d. Is there a better disc brake option?
e. I only drive maybe 500 miles a year…so is upgrading worth it?
2) Reline the brakes?  Where?
3) I know Jim repairs wheel cylinders, right?

Thanks in advance for not ridiculing me. 😊

Ray
