We moved on to a brake inspection and found the expected problems. The steel lines are rotten, flex hoses cracked, the wheel cylinders seized but repairable and the master cylinder is scrap. One wheel cylinder had previously been sleeved which is good. We figured since it needs all this stuff and in the interest of safety, we might be further ahead to install a dual master cylinder. Bob chopped the old bracket off the frame and fabbed up this replacement.
