I"m not threateneing any sort of public tribunalon the internet... just stating what happened, my opinion, and asking if I"m off base. Seems to be about 60/40 or so that I"m not off base, but again, its not a tribunal, just a discussion. I see the point of the gentleman regarding his concern about my taking a less expensive approach to brakes when its used for a parade, but I consider the following: 1.

Even the brakes on my SQUAD car are bonded... not riveted. I don"t feel I was compromising anyone"s safety by buying bonded brakes, although now, after this experience, I may reconsider it. Being unable to stop is less of a concern than having a wheel "lock up" because of a brake band spinning around the drum and wedging.
