But I do think I can manage to get over to see Kitten at work this week if that's not too much to ask?

No problem at all.  She has them with her as of this morning.

Sorry about the delay!  I have been a little more busy than I had originally anticipated.

No prob, they're still waiting for you.  Just give us a day's warning before you want to pick them up.

They're in the back o f the Beetle at the moment and ifyou happen to drop by on a day we take the bikes to work, they'll be where you are not.  Smiley

Poke poke poke...  Aaron, how are you making out with these things?

We're probably going to install the "Zettner" brakes on the 84 some time this season; would be nice to be able to fine-tune the bias.

Everything was done last year.  New prototype installed and working fantastic.

Unfortunately I haven't had any access to tools to make any more.

I might be able to work something out with a friend of mine if need be.  In my opinion it works so well that everyone with a Fiero shold get one even just to adjust the old weakened factory spring.

Best value brake upgrade for anyone that knows what they are doing.

Most dangerous brake upgrade for all those that don't know what they are doing (still worth it though).

I will be making 6 adapters a week from now.  If someone want's one, please measure the nut on the rear of your combination valve (19mm or 21mm?).

Also, I would like to test the operation of this valve on a car (84-87) that has a large front brake upgrade combined with stock rear brakes and rotors.  The voluteer must be in resonable driving range of me, have time for and be willing to allow testing.  This volunteer will also receive a free valve (go figure).

We're in for two.  I'll measure the valves tomorrow and let you know the nut sizes.

I'll quite happily be your guinea pig, assuming that no one else has stepped forward yet.

Done.

I'll be gone till latter in the week.

P.S. By the way everyone.  The 19mm nut allows adjustment of the rear brakes to higher pressures.  More on that latter.

One of each, please.  Both cars currently have valves with 21mm nuts, but one of our spares is a 19mm.  Give me a shout when you're back & ready to test, and I'm all yours.

If anyone is wondering what the delay is...I'm waiting for the o-rings to come in.  Because of the fluid in the braking system rubber o-rings can't be used, and there seems to be a delay on my EPDM order.

Thanks for waiting.
