Brake failure
Hi guys
Has anyone ever experienced total brake failure when the master cylinder gets too hot.
I was out this weekend to the UK Supernats and my brakes failed about 100 miles into the journey, the pedal went flat to the floor.????
The master cylinder was hot and the brake pipes seem to go straight past the headers.
The fluid level was OK and when cooled down the brakes were back to normal.
Any solutionsI'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal labotomy.

Reroute the brake lines and shield the MC.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
