HI all.
Yesterday while driving the GT6 home from work I took the ramp off =
the Interstate rather briskly (as usual) and when I got to the end of =
the ramp and tried to stop I was a bit surprised to find out that I had =
no brakes. Luckily there were no other cars in sight and I cruised =
through the stop sign unnoticed. I then tested the brakes gently and =
was able to get them to work. After deciding it was somewhat safe to =
proceed I drove up the road only to have the front brakes grab and not =
release. I pulled over to find smoking blue front rotors. When I opened =
the hood and looked around a bit I heard a CLICK and saw the front =
master cylinder move and the brakes released. Could this just be a =
simple matter of one of the master cylinders getting some corrosion =
inside and sticking? This car has a double master cylinder setup like =
many racecars have with willwood cylinders and a balance bar. It has =
been working flawlessly for several years but has been parked a lot this =
summer and not really driven much at all lately.=20
P.J.
