241. Re: Brake light replacements? Third brake light? (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 19:06:20 -0700; I was being facetious about the clear lens (don't really want to look like a Japanese tuner car). But yes, a red lens blocks transmission of all the wavelengths except red. So the white LED, which is; /html/mgs/2006-09/msg00205.html (9,889 bytes)

Re: From: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net> (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 16:00:31 -0700; No, but it strikes me it would be pretty easy to fab one out of bar stock (I have a SnugTop). One 90 degree bend, two threaded holes. It sounds like you already have one to use as a template. -- Max; /html/mgs/2006-09/msg00226.html (6,572 bytes)

245. Re: ATF (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2006 10:32:45 -0700; Not relevant. The problem is, ATF is too slippery.

246. Re: rats (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <max_heim@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2006 10:58:59 -0700; I believe I heard somewhere that mothballs can dissuade rodents from taking up residence. But I have also heard that rats can actually eat mothballs and survive. So your mileage may vary. -- Max Heim; /html/mgs/2006-10/msg00086.html (7,919 bytes)

The actual dynamic compression ratio is probably not as high as all that (in any single stroke, considering valve timing). Dividing by 14.7 is; /html/mgs/2006-10/msg00121.html (8,111 bytes)

Post-65 American cars with drum brakes use dual MCs. The dual circuit is a redundant safety feature, not inherently related to disc brakes.; /html/mgs/2006-10/msg00128.html (9,467 bytes)

The cause of swerving under braking with one-sided brake failure is because one side of the car is being retarded, and the other not.
