Attention: TDR Forum Junkies EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BRAKE FLUID
(AND ARE PROBABLY STILL AFRAID TO ASK)
Because August is National Brake Safety Awareness month, brakes have been on our minds of late and we thought this would be a good time to re-publish James Walker, Jr.’s Turbo Diesel Register article: Brake Fluid Exposé.
TDR members, you’ll recognize today’s post as it is excerpted from a past column. This little “taste of the TDR” is especially for those occasionally stopping by or just tuning in.
About the Writer: James Walker, Jr. is not only a writer for the Turbo Diesel Register magazine, he is an automotive mechanical engineer and highly accomplished and respected brake expert. He is the author of the often-referenced High-Performance Brake Systems: Design, Selection, and Installation.
Thank you for stopping by. If you’re not yet a member of the TDR or let your membership lapse, we hope you’ll consider becoming a TDR member today. The annual rate is $35, for which you’ll receive 4 copies of the quarterly print magazine delivered to your door, as well as a copy of the TDR annual wall calendar. As a TDR member you’ll enjoy full to the online forum, and free downloads of our numerous online technical publications as well as digital back issues of the magazine.
