[s-cars] FW: Brake Light and Thrumming Pedal

[Douglas Fifield]

All,

Thanks guys.  I will try again tomorrow.  I think I know the hole you
are talking about.  I have peered through that little geezer many
times but saw no nut.  Knowing that it is there and that is the magic
portal makes me want to go at it again.  I will take more pics and
provide the promised write-up.

The strut brace came off and I was able to slide the MC out of the
servo.  It is only that one invisible nut that stands in the way of
removal.  I don't even want to think about trying to get them back on.
 One worry at a time.

I know I have said it before, but it bears repeating.  You guys are
the best.  If it were not for this list, I would not be able to keep
and drive the impressive and admirable S6.  If you are ever in the
Twin Cities region of Minnesota, give me a shout and the beverages are
on me.

D.
