Default Never a dull day...

Thx for bringing the "stuff". You noticed my missing Cobra did you? Seems as I was getting on the 101 North I touched the brake pedal and lo and behold the pedal went to the floor!
I actually turned around at Cabela's and limped home on a slight rear brake pedal 20 miles to the house. What a fun ride that was.

After examination I found the braided line to the right front had failed. I noticed it did not have the usual twist in it to avoid the wheel rim. This was done at the body shop when they removed the right suspension for straightening. Attention to detail is a nice thing. Parker on 43rd Avenue made a new line in 10 minutes for $20. Installation is correct now and brakes are nice and firm. Glad it didn't happen on the freeway at 80 mph!
