Depending on which circuit failed, you probably had more less brakes left after the failure. With a tandem MC the stroke becomes longer and this often makes people think they have no brakes when in reality there really is something left. Do you know what actually popped? Such a failure (pop!) really doesn't sound like a MC failure; more like a hose or steel line. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
