LR> Something I've done when -half- the brakes go out (ruptured line,
 LR> wheel  cylendar going out, etc) it take a thin piece of sheet metal

 LR> enough it fit into the hole in the master cylendar where the brake
 LR> line goes, then put the brake line back in and tighten it and then
Honestly though, how many people keep sheet metal and cutters with them?  One 
time I had a line rupture (for the rear brakes).... I had just installed a 
new master cylinder the week before, and had kinked the line (causing it to 
crack).  My master cylinder came with plastic plugs; I unscrewed the line and 
put one of the plugs in and made it home with no problems and very firm 
brakes...
