[Shotimes] Brake Bias Plugs

Sat, 8 Mar 2003 12:20:08 -0500

Anyone have any pictures of what these things look like? I'm just curious. I
know where the thing is on my car, but I'm just wondering what they look
like when out of the car and what not. It's getting warmer out today so I'll
be out under my SE in a little while.
