The rubber band comment, along with several other inaccuracies posted in that FHP document, have bothered me for awhile (actually since it was originally put online last year). The fact that the information wasn't changed is one of the reasons why this website even exists.
No one person is right 100% of the time. I do feel that we have a responsibility to put out the best, most correct information that we can, in an effort to help others who are learning about these cars, or trying to actually restore one. Misinformation, such as this rubber band nonsense, does nothing to help further our cause and only serves to hurt what we've worked so hard to achieve.
Ok...I'm now moving on.

As far as the FHP document, if you felt there were 'inaccuracies' then perhaps a suggestion may have been noted, which I would gladly have adopted. The rubber bands do not replace the chain, they are used around the rotators. I listed the info based on someone who drove the cars while in service and is now in fleet maintenance. Of course with no mention of correction then one can only live with what's there. I too am interested in accuracy which is why I've spent as much time on it as I have. I'm sorry to hear it's of such little value and that my efforts have hurt the hobby as much as they have.
