As you know, we sell to NAPA material tor-several different applications and I will^ cover these individually. . First of all, I am attacf&ng our test report #76 CAM-26 which ^ -r evaluated our first-line disc brake materials and flrst-llne drum . ' brake materials on a 1976 Camaro. The Camaro was selected as ' the test car because it Is a difficult car to brake In that It has low , booster runout and relatively .small (9l/2" X 2") rear brakes. T&a testa verify that the materials meet or exceed the O.EV requirements Nising the government test procedure FMVSS 105-75. , With regard to. hydraulic truck strips, our material.693-55ID is used in many of the O.E. applications such as the 3/4 ton Chevrolet and GMC light trucks. ... The medium-sized trucks, brake sizes 14" X 2*/2" through the 16" X 6" sizes, we have many approvals on such vehicles as Chevrolet, GMC, international Harvester, Dodge, and Ford. The materials used were our 693-55IF and 693-55 ID and these materials are also approved tses which meet the FMVSS regulation 105-75. In thtflthicV^if^ek field, used on air braked vehicles, we have over & 50Xoftfte O. Ei\market and all our matarials meet the FMVSS 121 vjregul.atri'o'njK SCF-ABEX-2255 Mr. l^lph Jarre 11s Page 2 5/22/79 I hope the above Information is what you need to prove the validity of your statement.

This being the first FMVSS-105 test run on this vehicle, there will be no comparison made with other materials at this time. ABB-912-7X16/17 made under 47/11801. FMVSS-105A-75 (Abex A-106A). Front disc pads were installed as received, without insulators. Rear segments were riveted onto shoes, then ground .020 inches under drum diameter. New front brake .rotors, and rear brake drums were, installed for this evaluation. Based on the attached test data, the 912-7X16/17 front disc brake material with 261-1/2 rear material passes and exceeds the FMVSS 105A government regulation. This material is adequate to be presented for O.E. app'lltTa'tidp^as a material that is quiet, giving performance that will qualify for EMVSS 105A. * This combination passed all requirements for the FMVSS-^05-75^. procedure. There were 2 reports of noise,* no reports- of erratic action. At the conclusion of the test, all material was semi-."'" glazed. Rotors and drums were smooth with some stain arid some streaking. ,.
