Sb; Until further notice, we will discontinue using American Brakeblok's specifications on the fininshed lining (center) thickness on all passenger car and light truck appli cations. The only exception to this change will be under those foreign car and domestic brake shoes on{iwhich we have made' special changes in the past to accommodate different states minimum thickness specifi cations such as the ones for the Volkswagen, etc. We will not go to the thinner FMSI specifications on these. If you have any questions on this matter, please let me know.
