Well as the purveyor Glenn refers to may I make the following comments:-

Mike Allen does not currently have Internet access, so having shown him
Mike
Wattam's e-mail I agreed to submit his reply.  However, I said I would make
it 
clear they were his words, not mine.

I will show him all the replies it generated at our Kent area SOC meeting 
tomorrow (Monday) and will submit any further comments he wishes to make.

I do admit, however, that I should have explained the rules and etiquette
of 
this list to him prior to submitting his original comments, and for that
oversight
I apologise.  There are historical reasons he feels as strongly as he does
about Mike Wattam but I will not go into them here.

My only comment on the technical issue is to say I'm rather surprised Glenn
thinks the correct fitting of brake pads is "a trivial matter."
