| Brakes went out and started on fire. baffles on engine exhaust rusted out and layed on frame touching starter motor electrical contacts which started brake fluid on fire from other side of vehicle. brake line had rusted through approximately same time as baffle rusted out. master cylinder was bubbling from the heat as brake fluid was on fire. fire was very difficult to put out. buckets of water would not extinguish flames. only a hose could reach that area of the fire.*ak*ak | |||
