Brakes are failing 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be 145volvowayne on  Tue Sep 15 08:13 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Hello,
During the last two drives my brake pedal had progressively traveled further towards the floor during braking. I don't dare drive it now for safety sake.

Question: Baring any fluid leaks, is it reasonable to assume the master cylinder has gone if the pedal is going to the floor with very little braking power generated?

Thanks,
Wayne
