dear s1,

My 58 88 has just lost nearly all its braking, which gave me a rather 
exciting journey home using low ratio to get down our very steep hill 
and the handbrake to stop at the bottom :(

The pedal travels to the floor with almost no resistance: I assume I 
have a leak somewhere. I can't find it, so I think I'll take the 
opportunity to replace all the brake lines and hoses, then replace all 
the fluid. Checking the master cylinder is a bit beyond my competence, 
I fear, but I would like to trace the rest and reassure myself of its 
safety. The PO was good at this kind of thing but sometimes a bit 
cavalier...

Does this sound like a reasonable approach to you? or should I be 
assuming that the cylinder seals have gone and investigate that before 
i start ripping out pipes?

Any advice, cautionary tales or shouted admonitions would be very 
welcome: I'm new at this.

thanks

will
