Hi,
Did the court concluded that it made a difference, or did it conclude that an incorrect material was used? Tests made at Goodyear using both titanium and SS strips seems to indicate no difference in results.
Unfortunately it's in french language ... but this point was subject of a looong discussion between experts , lawers and judge during the trial ........
The complete "minutes" of the trial can be found here:
