I've a slight leak where the m/c connects to the power booster. According to the parts catalog there is no gasket between these two surfaces. What would you do? Making a gasket? Using permatex liquid gasket?

This would indicate that the rear seal of the M/C is leaking. The fix is to remove and rebuild/replace the M/C.
If your M/C is the original single circuit type, this would be a good time to consider converting it to a dual type for safety considerations.

What he said!
I agree. This is definitely a case of where safety trumps purism and originality. Go for the dual master cylinder.

My Avanti's are early 63's which have a brace on the underside of the hood that a dual master cylinder hits, so I had to go back to the single (original) master. I did however use one from Ed Reynolds that had been sleeved with stainless steel, so that should at least add to the life of the part.

If you are thinking about new metal brake lines try
www.OldTimeParts.com. I like their product and service.
You should be able to get the soft hoses at your flaps.
