Re: [DML] Brakes broke..

["Marv Hein" <marvhein@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same responses to heavy braking reported by Mark V.  The 
rear end wanted to whip around.  I admit he and I may be guessing on 
the reason, but I believe use of 50/50 replacement MC's has been 
pretty common over the years and my MC had been replaced by the PO.

With a recent purchase of a MC from Houston, which I believe is 
close or identical to the original stock ratio, braking is much more 
controlled... the rear end no longer tries to come around.
