Re: 53 Mainline brake parts ???

Re: Ignition Resistor
No such thing as an internally resisted coil.No room inside a coil for a 60 watt 4 inch long resistor.The resistors heat would boil the oil and burst the case.

Re: bending Aries SS muffler without breaking?
I take these problems to a shop that has the proper bending tool.They have made exhaust parts for my tractor for a fraction of new cost.They sell all auto parts so I buy most things from them.
