ive found the best thing to do (especially on a single channel brake system) is to have the brakes sleeved and have new kits installed. there's too much at risk to screw around on this one. brake fluid absorbs water and the bad location of the mc puts water in harms way. water often pits the bore and then the problems start when the pits damage the plunger. im trying hard to install a dual channel system on my command car. i have already done discs and new lines and hoses. the achilles heel is the master. i know people ran single circuit brakes for years without problems, but my 18 month old son & copilot has given me new perspecitve on safe 'cargo' transport. i'm installing seatbelts next!!!
btw - i had dual master and dual disc setup in the m37 and the change is light years ahead from a performance, service and safety stance. i also like to think that a % of my helitool purchases are directly spent on ray's drinks in thailand! he deserves it.
