Just this past week there was an issue where a BIRA-equipped car was sold w/out the necessary paperwork being completed.  The buyer contacted BIRA for info on what the heck brakes he had (their website is stamped on the bracket), and a small can o' worms was opened... essentially a thread on the legal and moral ramifications of not sticking to your contracted word, peppered with comments as to the simplicity of printing out a single form.   Anyway, all was fine and the new buyer joined up.  QRS is still doing providing brake lines as needed, but there is no one who's willing to buck up a few thou to keep BIRA brackets in stock, especially since the profit margin is zero.

As a post script -- I wonder if Audiconnection might do well to incorporate such an agreement into any brake conversions it does too.  Not to promote frivolty, but if you don't cover your butt, it's open season...
