Hand Tools
Re: Using Hand Tools - Spanners and
Sockets
Great article, but unfortunately all things I already learnt the
hard way or from a very patient mate, a worthy addition to that article might be
how to avoid cross-threading by hand tightening the first few turns before
getting stuck in with the tools (another hard learnt lesson).
P.S. The
aforementioned mate also taught me the direction rule via the mantra "Righty
tighty, Lefty loosey". :)

Torque Split Controller
Just a query regarding the torque split
controller in Godzilla Tamed. Would there have been anything wrong with using a
pair of potentiometers for that job? One would be across the sensor voltage
supply circuit and earth, with a 2.5V output. The other would be between this
2.5V and the sensor output, with the output being between the true sensor output
and 2.5V. Would that have worked? Anyway, enough with my ramblings, keep up the
good work.

Yes we think it would work..
Reading Brakes
So you've done a piece on how to read spark
plugs. How about a series on brakes and brake pad diagnosis? Brake
testing, tunning and modification? It's cheaper to make a car go faster
with better brakes, than it is to add engine horsepower.

Tyre Grip
Just read the article "Tyres, Grip and all that"
and felt compelled to drop you a note. What a truly fantastic article! Keep up
the great work.
