<VV> brake master cyl failure

[Mark Durham]

Mike, was the system changed so one half of the master cylinder did
two wheels and the other half the other two? You should not have lost
everything if it was done right and in good condition. If the system
was reconfigured correctly, I would suspect that you may have been
braking with just one half of the system for some time. Both halves
need to be checked out. Mark Durham
