That's not what I've heard, but I don't doubt that it helps. I notice that you also said accidents. I guess if it can move enough for an accident, it can be moved during servicing of the vehicle too. I had always heard that it was so you could move the MC out of the way while you change the booster w/o having to bleed the MC afterwards. Maybe that's a case of the end justifying the means though. When I was a mechanic, little time-savers like that were taught to us so that the boss could make more $$.
-----Original Message----- That's exactly right Brad. It allows for vibration and movement over bumps and accidents to prevent the brake line from cracking and the loss of braking. Best to stay with the original design.
