Re: S/SS Brake safety
Ken Etter's crash at Fontana years ago brought this issue to the forefront for a while...good thread to remind everyone.

Re: S/SS Brake safety
I've been there, done that. It is beyond a scary situation. You don't think it can happen until it does.

Re: S/SS Brake safety
Why isn't it mandatory like a seat belt or helmet?
It could be covered in the tech inspections. Ron

Re: S/SS Brake safety
Simple test you can do yourself.
Reach down and pull your brake pedal up toward you to see if it comes high enough to let the rod fall out of the master cylinder. |
