Thx Ian-I went to Cdn. Tire-they refused because car is a 1967 and they have no data for it in their Mitchell service manual! I said they only needed to check roadworthiness, lights, etc. and any mechanic should be able to assess brake lining wear-they said 'no dice', mechanic refused to touch it! So I have an appt. for OK Tire next week. By the way- Cdn. tire failed me last year for a weeping seal on the the shifter shaft on tranny! This Cdn. Tire was in Maillardville.
