Recently I was on a forum where we were discussing disc brake swaps. I use the factory A or FMJ-body parts when I do mine. One of the folks asked why bother using the factory stuff when there are bolt-on kits that are bigger, lighter, etc. I responded that I do it for several reasons. One(and most important)- I'm cheap. The factory stuff is inexpensive. Two- If I need to replace something I can go to any parts store and get what I need. And Three- most of the aftermarket setups are not DOT approved and since I live in NJ, where lawsuits are a way of life for many, it's another excuse for them to sue in case of an accident. If the other party finds out I have non-DOT brakes, I could end up in court quick. i caught a lot of flak for that last comment. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dodger7998@xxxxxxx To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 2:35:01 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: legal queery A thought has come across my mind as of late, not so much this site as on others that I belong to, and that would be: Are there any legal ramifications that would come back to haunt us if we talk someone through a repair on their car, and they do it following our advise, and go out and get in an accident because of a failure on the repair that we had told them how to do? I'm sorry but am starting to believe that it should be against the law for some people to own tools,,,,,, Roger [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
