This is a really great book! I know it sounds funny, but I learned a lot about fasteners and thread lubricants that I didn't know. And it's very easy reading.

The book was not what I was looking for however it turned out to be a great book. If you are new to fasteners and pluming then this will be a great reference book to have. The explanation and definition of terms really helps a beginner understand what they are experiencing. I do recomend the book, especially if you are new to the hobby.


5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly fascinating read...   April 25, 2009

I picked this book up because I needed to learn about fasteners and fluid plumbing for a Ghia I'm fixing. I'd expected this to be a necessary but boring slog of a read.

Much to my surprise I found it fascinating. The author's explanations are clear and concise without being dumbed down. But the author also doesn't make assumptions that you automatically know the background information either.

If you're looking for a book on this subject, this is the one.



5 out of 5 stars A Clear and Concise Review of These Essential Automotive Components   September 27, 2008

4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a great book for anyone who does any work on automobiles. It gives an explanation of the components that hold the vehicle together as well as the conduits that carry the fluids that allow the mechanical systems to function. These systems are often forgotten because they are not glamorous like stereo systems or fancy paint jobs but are imperative for the proper functioning of the engine running and the ability to stop the car safely. If you crash into a brick wall, it does not matter how many watts your sound system puts out. A must read.

Mike has put together an excellent, up to date discussion of the these critical areas of the modern race car. He discusses the latest equipment, techniques and products available to the modern car builder and presents many time and money saving tips. Newbie or Pro, you need to put down your wrenches and read this book!
