[Fot] brake bias

[rob]

This morning the  local shop agreed to turn the discs.  It did take a little 
convincing that they were not for a street car  The shop has been in the 
same location scence i was a kid  and the man dueing the work is no spring 
chicken.So that and a buck fifty gets you a cup of coffee.  We'll see 
thanks for the help and feed back    rob
