Good point. But the spoon/mugen are very nice. Just for engine bay decoration.
i always wondered what the point of having those socks in ur engine bay are for...
to me.. it stops me from burning my hands on my gear knob on hot days lol
It doesn't deflect the flame. It still burns, but it just shrinks and disappears. The material probably sublimes under the fire. If you had a shirt made of the same material, it would just go whoosh and shrivel up.Quote:

spoon socks are cheap to.. 20 bucks for 2 or something... a tenis arm band may even cost more lol
What IS the point of spoon socks? Other than bling...
It's supposed to absorb any brake fluid that manages to creep out of the resevoir (highly unlikely though). Brake fluid eats through paint, btw.Quote:

we did the same experiment in textiles in highschool lol....we had to make mini skirts, the fabric that I had, happened to be 100% wool, so stopped burning, and then the nylon stocking we had, just kept burning....
assuming the copy socks are made of synthetic materials lol
Nope, doesn't list what it's made of. The Kellogg's sock consists of 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Synthetic materials are better as organic (carbon based) materials tend to burn and leave behind embers.Quote:

I have ES (skateboard shoe comapany) Wrist bands on my brake reservoir.. They look kinda cool cause there like royal blue with a black and white stripe,
I did it cause it looked different than the every day spoon ones.
If they catch on fire you all will be the first to know
