Re: [DML] Brake Pedal Travel

["Chris D'Urso" <dursman@xxxx>]

Eric,
It might just be something with our cars. I thought I had a brake problem 
and had everything swapped/checked, even installed a new master cyliner... 
but the brake pedal still gets pushed way down. My new thought was to 
install the braided brake lines. I haven't done it yet (they are still 
sittin in the garage) but hopefully they will help. 20 year old rubber 
lines might be a little old. Hope this helps.
