You know..the ones that change color as the caliper gets hotter. I need to know when to change my seals again. Thanks

As you can see, my Alcon TA-6 was running a relatively cool 280 oF at Mid-Ohio, midrange on the "C". BTW, the strips still show the max temp reached after the caliper cools; you don't need a "hot" photo like this, ... but I did like the pic :-)

Do they have a maximum?

What do they expect you to do with the information?

How long before the strip "resets"?

I just forget to ask him where to get them.

The Answer: Not Very

Those strips never really reset. The current temp is always clearly visible, but you can always see the maximum temp the strip has ever reached.

I'm not aware of Alcon's recommendations.
