What you are saying is absolutely true, why take the risk if one doesn't have
to?  While I would love to experiment in that arena, as embedded systems are
a "thing" for me, brakes are something I don't fool with.  In fact, on my
homebrew vehicle, after I mount all the brake/suspension components, I'm
going to tow the vehicle to a local brake shop (already arranged) for them to
inspect, check out, and full the brake system with fluid.  I *can* do this,
but I already had one system fail, and its better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for listening, and Cheers,
