<VV> Blocked brake hose

### That's interesting - I hadn't come across that before, and you are 
indeed the second person to point this out. I'm from the UK originally, 
now in Florida, and in the UK the salt will eat the brake pipes from the 
outside long before they can corrode from the inside!
I began this overhaul by replacing the master cylinder with a 1" one 
instead of the 1.125" as originally fitted. Hopefully I will have a 
lighter pedal without too much travel.
But I can't fit the new master cyl till I get the spatter paint from 
Clarks to paint the inside of the trunk - that's how these jobs go, 
isn't it - backwards!

     Hugo,

     As you will probably hear from a dozen responses, the steel lines
     rust internally from moisture trapped in the fluid. If they are 
full
     of rust the lines are dangerous.

     Replace the lines and be safe. Replace the master cylinder too.
