Hi Mike,
That link broke on a MC that I rebuilt for my '72GT. In my case it
didn't lock the rear brakes, but since it was broken it did not retract
the cup to refill the MC for bleeding. Long-time listers may recall my
puzzlement at the problem.
I salvaged a link from another MC, but it was very much rusted away, so
I got another from a third MC that looked better. Not good, but better.
Next time the MC perishes on this car, I am going to do exactly what
all the experienced people recommend----Buy A New MC !!!!
