I got some nearly new UFOs, Jurid pads with sensors and the car-side sensor
wiring (cut from mine by previous hack) from a local junkyard last weekend
for 50 bux. Totally cured my brake pulsation.
 I'm going back again tomorrow for my 3rd visit. Keep thinking of more stuff
I need...
 Also got a very decent 4k window regulator and was able to take the good
parts I needed to make a good CGT regulator and now I have 2 working windows
again.
