[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 863727, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B]In 1987, I was driving a P-4 ,doing about 45mph, and the road had a 90 degree turn. [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#006400] [/COLOR][COLOR=#006400]I pushed the brake pedal-( heard a snap)- and the brake pedal went to the floor. Thank my lucky stars there was a dirt track going up a hill at the turn and I was able to come to a slow stop, instead of hitting trees. Those P-4's only had 1 3/8th's #2 grade bolt-(read as a soft shear pin)- as the only connector to the push rod. I drove 5 miles-(sans brakes)- to a local hardware store and put a #8 grade bolt in it's place. It was common for the gear shift lever to break at the floor board. The mech's would patch it up and I would go for another 300 mile drive the next day. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
