Re: [DML] Brakes and Rotors

Joshua:
Do you have the SS braided brake lines? The rotors heat up, heating the the 
caliper, fluid and flexible hoses. The hoses can then expand and you lose 
your braking power. This is proabbly the quickest, easiest and cheapest 
route to try first. Mid-states Delorean club sells these occasionally. 
Check their web-site or contact Marty Maeir (spelling?).
