I think it's time for a good old padlock on this thread. It's pretty clear that at this point we know what happened and it's over with except for a lot of screaming directed toward Ryan/UMI.

Never mind the fact the original post was bitching about bleeding brakes, etc, and then morphed into messing with the brake cable bracket.... and last I checked up didn't have to bleed an emergency brake cable. Never mind the fact that up until now, with I'm sure thousands of sets out there that this is the first bitching about it any of us have seen. Never mind the fact that instead of being a grown-up and picking up the phone (or even PM'ing) to UMI and asking "what's up with this?" these guys chose to go nuts on a public forum.

Moderators, please lock this ridiculous thread.

Is this a joke? You're really not serious are you?

Either there needs to be a punchline or this is the driest sense of humor I've ever seen.

Don't mod cars anymore. You run into obstacles like this all the time no matter what you are working on, and you won't get warnings like that.

If you feel like UMI's site is missing info which is misleading customers, why didn't you pick up the phone and call them first instead of going immediately to a public forum and crying like a little girl about it?
