Silicone brake fluid,synthetic oils,stainless steel brake lines and one wire
alternaters aren't crap,junk or dangerous.Idiots who don't use them for what
they were originally engineered for are the dangerous ones.People who think
they are smarter than the next guy or people who don't take the time to do
the right research or ask the right questions are the dangerous ones.
If you think that you can take your vehicle and install the above without
correcting anything else or upgrading what needs to be to make things work
properly than you are a fool.
I am a mechanic by trade for 20 years with Aeronautical and Mechanical
engineering education.I didn't have the money to finish school and never
went back but I did keep up the education on my own time and as coin would
allow.
If it's one thing I have learned and it wasn't from any school-it's that
most people think they know better when they really don't.As one good friend
of mine said'They know JUST enough about mechanics to be DANGEROUS'
Research is cheap,considering the alternative -is my moto
