G’day,
I was poking around the Photosite and noticed that Chuck Aulgur has posted
some good detailed pictures of Jim K’s production reaction arm system.

Now all we have to do is convince him, Jim K, or the engineer who reworked
Chucks' prototype design to make it cheaper to manufacture to run stopping
distance tests.
I'd like to see panic stops from 25-30 and 60-65 mph.
I'd suggest the tests be done with:
1) A GMC with good standard rear drum brakes
2) A GMC equipped with rear disks WITHOUT the Reaction Arms installed
3) The Reaction Arms installed
The same set of wheels / tires should be used on all three tests to
eliminate that variable and so only one set will be ruined!
