Hello list,

  About three weeks ago I mailed the list with a problem on my 69 BGT. The 
rear brakes were locking and not releasing. I thought I would share with the 
list what the problem turned out to be, just in case someone else ever 
suffers from the same problem.
  My master cylinder is the dual line non-servo(no power assist) type. There 
is a piston link between the front and rear master cylinder pistons that 
pulls the rear brake piston back upon releasing the brakes(there is no return 
spring for the rear piston). This link was broken!!
  I have ordered a new master cylinder, however, if anyone on the list has 
one of these piston links they would like to part with, I would be 
interested. I haven't found this part in any rebuild kits offered.
                                                                    Mike, 
69BGT
