| This is what I said this morning. About a month ago I put new Jamar disc brakes on the front, a new master cylinder, and 4 new brakes lines on my '65 and they have worked great until this morning. It stopped fine the first 4 stop signs and then I heard a pop I thought maybe something broke in the master cylinder or I blew a brake line when I hit the brakes.So I had it towed home, when I got home to pull it in the garage, they worked again. Could it be they just need to be bled? But I am concerned with the pop that I heard. Thanks for any help. V.W. |

| Hey Dominic, All I could do last night was give it a quick look over and I didn't see any fluid leaking anywhere. So I kinda think it could of been air or something wrong in the master cylinder. I guess I will fix the E-brake now in case it happens again. I'm gonna try to put a pic or two on this weekend if I have time. Are you going to the Pomona show sunday? V.W. |
