[Spridgets] Bad braking

[Brian Morse]

Thank you all for the great info!

I had no idea the hoses would fail in that manner- very interesting.  I
will give Peter C a shout on Monday.

And I will try my hand at searching the archives.

After double checking the fluid I put in I see I used Valvoline dot 3 and 4
SYNTHETIC fluid.  I never saw that (duh).  Do I really need to tear it
apart and rebuild the whole system?!?
