New Vehicle Break-In Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break-in...
a.. Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322km) or so. During this time your new brake linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings.
There is no other "break-in"procedure listed and I assure you I did not make any hard stops in the first 200 miles.

didn't use a big word like "elaborate" so he wouldn't be confused, didn't w= ork.
Andrew has said that he is ignoring Dad, restated breaking in periods that everyone knows (I guess this is news to him), and that his brakes were redone. I would like to get some information that is meaningful such as how the brake job is performing, what changed, etc. That would be helpful.
I have some new semi-metallic pads for my '68. I promise to put them under my pillow tonight.
That said... if the brake fairy takes them and leves me a quarter for $50 pads - I'm blaming you.

No, no, the brake fairy like the tooth fairy leaves a quarter a piece.!
It's in the fairy manual. Just ask Andy.
If we scored usenet... you'd get a killshot for that one.

It would also have helped if someone had told him that he is not supposed to post HTML in newsgroups.
He has been told that and as you can see he knows much more than the mortals here.
