Brent, I don't recall from your prior posts if you had replaced your brake
hoses. I've seen a couple cases on Type 1's where the front hoses were
deteriorated inside so badly that they kept the brake fluid from returning to
the reservoir. The symptom was red hot front brakes caused by brake drag.
Just a thought.
