Still no brakes for the Z

Well, we have made the mad dash to the parts store. We tried three different master cylinders, we have bled the brakes several times. And yet the problems with a soft pedal continue. It has been a rough afternoon and evening scratching our collective heads and trying one thing after the other.

There were some high hopes when we found the rotted out vacuum line, but that didn't fix our woes either.

We have stopped for the night mainly because we are out of brake fluid and the parts store doesn't open till 7:00 am.

The D is ready to go and all of its problems are solved. We also got a higher roll bar mounted in the Z so that problem is solved too. We'll at least have 1 car on the track at the green flag and may send the Z out to turn slow laps while we try to find another brake booster or whatever part we decide to change next in the morning.

On a different note, dinner was some fabulous burgers and my current favorite beer. Lots of happiness there.
