Could have just blown a flex line (one to each front wheel plus one to rear axle). Also, might be wheel cylinder. Put brake fluid in it and have someone pump brakes while looking for leaks. If no obvious leaks, then yeah, probably by-passing in master cylinder. _________________________ Nial's #909 Spridget Racer Nial's #909 Escort Twin Cam Racer (now sold, but I'm still a part-time driver) Nial's Race Events
