That's one time a slight misspelling predicts the remainder of the
story. G

I too remember those pre-dual brake system days.

As a matter of fact, with the first car I ever owned* I didn't need to
worry about burst brake lines.

It was a Ford Model A from the thirties, and had four wheel mechanical
brakes. It was also the easiest damn car to work on I ever had, you
could do practically everything with just an adjustable wrench, a
screwdriver and sometimes a BFH.

* Slight mistatement, I actually only owned half of it, my high school
buddy Pete owned the other half. AFAICR my half was the one which needed
fixin' by me and his half as the one he did unmentionable things to
girls in while "parking" at Inspiration Point in San Francisco.

Thanks for the mammaries...
