There were a couple of brave souls on here that decided to try the vacuum brake leathers I cut out. I sent them out today USPS. Funny thing is that when I took them to the post office, the clerk had a sorta "gauge" (a piece of cardboard with about a quarter inch slot in it) that she used to check the package. When she could push my envelope through it she said it could go regular mail, not parcel post. I asked her if this would be the way it would always be and she said as long as I kept using the shipping envelopes i did, it could got regular mail. I guess that settles that question.

If anybody else wants any, they're available at two for $5, including shipping.
