1500 Midget, my daily driver. Driving to work this morning, everything
feels normal. I'm pulling away from a traffic light about a mile from
home and, and the car seems sluggish. I lift off the throttle, and the
car hauls down to a stop. HUnh?
Brakes felt normal when I stopped for the light, and now the pedal is
high and impossibly hard (as in I can't budge the SOB, and I leg press
close to 800 lbs.). I know something's not right, so I turn tail for
home. At the next light, the front brakes are smoking, both sides.
G.e.n.t.l.y make my way home, swap cars (jump into wife's 48 year old
MG), and head to work.
Come home this evening, and the brakes feel normal again. If it were
one side, I'd figure brake hose swelling, but both fronts at once???
Before I tear everything apart, anybody have any pet theories I should
test out?
