Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Was Playing with the 308 - now 308 calipers

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

My point, Jeff, was not that re-using a product is bad
but rather, that the amateur rebuilder who is seeing
the inside of a caliper for the first time, may miss
the proper steps that you obviously follow, and wash
the rings down with paint thinner and toss them back
on the workbench until reassembly time.

Many things we do on our cars may cause
"inconveniences" caused by our ignorance.  Other
things may result in death from the same causes.
