I found out about mine pulling into the garage one night. Thank
goodness I was only going about 2 mph. The pedal went all the way
to the floor, and the red brake light warning came on and I only
had about maybe 10% braking power. The carpet was soaked in brake
fluid, which totally destroyed it!
I have used one of Jim's center brake lines, and they are really
nice. High quality fittings, and it is the correct length! On
Toby's site I have a "how to" for installing this line. After
the installation I was glad to know that this is the last time I
will have to replace one of those! I went the added step and replaced
ALL my brake lines and put in a new ATE m/c at the same time. I
can stop quick now!
I imagine that if I had been on the freeway when this happened,
both my 70' Square and I would have been toast!
