    Thanks but, WOW.

    The rear master cylinder is non fuctional right now on the frankien-z. Which means..............no friggin brakes to stop this beast.

    So I browsed the lovely ebay, in search of a master cyclinder at a great price. Paid for that sucker, as well as some fresh new pads.

    The pads have yet to arrive. However, the complete master cylinder came in today. After opening the box I noticed something odd. The guy never drained the fluid. WOW!

    I am thankful for him leaving it in. But at the same time. What would have happened if that bad boy started to leak?

    Any ideas? I don't think it would've made it to me............do you.

    It would have made it eventually. I had the same issue with a motor that DID leak oil. USPS put it in decom. I got it 3 weeks later. Some sellers have no idea about shipping.
