RE: IML: Brake questions

[Mark Elliott <deadfishe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So far so good.  Thanks to the advice, I have finished the project 
and everything seems to be fine. Now when it comes time to do this on 
my Imperial, I will be ready (though not looking forward to it, since 
it took me far longer than I had hoped, though next time it should go 
much faster since I now have a bit of experience).
