 Went to do my brakes today, and found pages 187-188 (how to do your
brakes,naturally)
197-198, 195-196 were missing. Wonder if some kind soul out there could fax
or mail me those pages.

Fax 302-=323-4055

Adress 202 Cain Rue, Newark, DE 19711

I am now wondering if I put the shims in the right way up. I went by the
picture in VB showing. the semi circular hole at the bottom of the caliper.
Does it matter if its in the wrong way up?
Definitely not one of my better days, after installing the first rotor, bled
the brake  and found the wheel was locked up. Undid the bleed valve, no
fluid squirted out. Undid rotor which fell right off. Stupid didn't notice
ther two lower bolts were different lenghts asnd tightened the long one up
in the wrong hole so it hit the rotor. Hope I didn't warp it, thats why I
installed it in the first place.
Can't road test because its been pi.....ng down all day.

Just love this car now, boy does it fly compared to my TR6.Now if I can pass
smog with no CCS on it, like the previous owner somehow managed to do......

Sorry, I'm rambling. Will shut up now.
