As others have mentioned here, that's only a problem in changing weather. If it is consistently cold, the brake will not freeze. I say this with 18 years of ski instruction experience, parking every winter weekend. I only had my brake freeze a couple times, when I had do drive up through slush into frozen country, then park the entire weekend. A bit of popping the clutch forward and reverse freed it. :::: The first priority for society as a whole is to drastically reduce consumption of fossil fuel energy and products derived from fossil fuels. The key action is to curtail. That means buying less, using less, wanting less and wasting less. To curtail means to cut back or to downsize. Curtail reflects the seriousness of the current situation more than the politically acceptable word "conserve." -- Pat Murphy :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
