The analogy I used when replying to the original post was between a 1950's
TV set and a modern one. The 1950's version may have worked fine for many
years and still may produce a good picture but, for a little more realism
and seeing as a life may depend on it, let's go for the patch..... You may
find a cross ply (or the tyre that conned the US for years, a bias belted)
tyre, was good enough for plugs but the modern radial uses patches. Call it
a retrograde step if you wish, just like fuel injection is a retrograde step
from the carb. (Smile)
