'72 Scamp Can I just fix the front brakes to get it home?

What happened when the brakes quit? Were they working and then suddenly not? How long had you been driving? Or was it parked?

I've had hoses go bad and when they got hot they'd either lock the brakes or make them not work. You might get in it and find they suddenly work. Take it easy and get it home in that case.
here's not much to these brake systems. If it's not the hoses, the master or the wheel cylinders are the most likely culprit. Wheel cylinders can be a bear since they tend to be rusted in place and getting the flare nut out often results in damaging thin

This is my first post on this car It's been sitting in a shop for 25+ years and I'm now trying to get it fixed up.
