  Well, I finally got around to checking the "NO Brakes" on my Crestliner.The last time I drove it I had good brakes; then about 3 months later NONE!!

Well I hit the Master cylinder w/my brass hammer as suggested,several times, and NOTHING!

Then; I looked in the master cylinder; NO FLuid AT ALL!! It had Dot 3 in it previuosly!!No LEAKS on the floor, lines, or backing plates? Where did it go to???

I refilled the master cylinder; (with DOT 3) so now I have to get my friend over here to bleed them! I never had a car that had the brake fluid just disappeared!! ( And I've done literally 100's of brake jobs in my 20'and30's and forty's- and in my 60's 70's and 80's on my Classic cars.) WHAT"S WITH THAT??? It's a mystery to me!!
