<VV> LM Brake Drum Run Out Posts

[YENBAT@aol.com]

I sent the following email a bit ago and want to clarify one thing.

Smitty... This was not directed at you and after sending it I realized it 
would appear so. Your
responses are most always right on and to the point.

The reason was the original question was "What is the runout limit."

I was sitting in the vicinity of my manual collection so I looked it up and 
answered. I also
post it to the list so in case anyone else was curious as to the answer they 
would have it.

There were other posts that were not helpful in any way and then there was:

Let's expand what you stated--The ".005 total indicator reading" is AFTER
the drum has been re-surfaced! Ref .Corvair Shop Manual Pg 5-13; 2nd
paragraph,last sentence(under  Figure. 27)--Gotta get picky-ya
know---------!   Dewey

This is the sort of thing that I find to be a waste of time space and 
bandwidth and am begining to understand why Larry Claypool left this list.

Y'all will note that my answer to the gentleman that wanted to know about 
mounting his tissue holder in his '65 LM was not posted to the list. But he 
didreceive an answer and 
a scanned copy of the proper page from the 1965 Accessory Manual.

Just had to comment on this... But then I'm also suffering from a severe cold 
and not my
usual happy and jovial self.

The question was asking for the maximum runout...

I answered it for him on the list as well as direct...

Next time I answer a question it will be driect only.

The rest can find out for themselves.
