I think you would still have some braking but a Hard to push Brake Pedal if it were the Brake Booster.

Never heard of a thrown pad or for that matter some bolts or pins falling out of the Brake Calipers.
I guess anything is possible but then the caliper Plungers would extend and you would probably see a complete failure of the Plunger and brake fluid all over. In any event there would be all kinds of noise I would expect at the suspect Brake Caliper.

If the Brake Pads get sooooo thin as to end up with Pad Rivets on the Rotor.....there would be all kinds of noise at that wheel indicating the Brakes are going to hell in a hand basket

I thought Jerry had Brake Master or Clutch Master Cylinders at one time and maybe Clutch Slave Cylinders on his web site??
