  Hi Jim;
This is not about business for me, this is about safety. I sat at a tech
meeting in Vegas that Mark Overmyer, who was a mechanical engineer,
addressed regarding this subject. A dealer in these types of brakes stood up
and said, "You can not sue me I have nothing." This is the type of mentality
you find in those who only look out for their business plan.
I guess my previous email would lend you to think I am on medication, and I
apologize for that. I may not be the greatest speller, but ask around, I
know what I am talking about.
Thank you .
