okay....well it was 20 years ago....good thing you did the E brake, but i may have actually thought...hmmm been 20 years...how much do i drive it....and can i take the time to pull it out and just check it out....i mean it has been 20 years and when was the last time i changed the brake fluid.

not trying to burn you, just saying is all. things don't last forever (even if they seem to be working fine) Preventive maintenence is sometimes the best practice.

without further investigation...one can't say it was the user or the BTV that failed....the jury is out.

eiher way i am glad you are safe and that the e brake came through for you! i'm glad the Packard is safe as well! cheers!
