[Spridgets] [9issa] Bugeye Group..... RE: [midgetsprite] Brake fluid

[Robert Duquette]

I can't say for sure what the cause was, but I have had brake line failures 
that the mechanics have told me was due to rusting from the inside.  It 
seems to happen at a low point in the line.  This wasn't on Brit cars 
though.  It was on cars that saw regular winter service.
