CA>> would dump a supplier with a 20 year history with the
CA>> company for a new one that was $.05 cheaper per part. :-) 

TW> Figure it out. When you are dealing in Millions of Units
TW> even 5 cents is sigbificant.

CA>> Another problem - I remember when european cars had

CA>> to stop people from running into them when they panic
CA>> stopped. 

TW> I rembember those. BUT it was really a Clever PR thing. BUT
TW> the brakes were reqally good. I had a 1966 Renault R-8 for
TW> about 8 years with 4 wheel disks.
