<VV> I'm getting closer ! GM Chevelle brakes on LM Corvairs ?

[Charles Lee]

The legal definition is that it runs and moves under its own power.
They didn't say if it had to actually come to a stop.

Of course, you're right about the brakes !
In California, they don't do "safety inspections" until AFTER you crash.

I have visually checked the brakes, and was amazed to remember how BIG
they are compared to my newer cars !  
Corvair drums look like they came off a truck !
One of the benefits of GM using 'off the shelf' parts ?  From Chevelles,
I believe ?

OK - what is "their" definition of "operational"?

To me - it is STOP, START, RUN, MOVE, TURN.

Note - check the order in which I list the operations.

Now, if there is an inspection to pass a few more things might be on the

list - most having to do with steering linkage and lighting.

Later, JR
