Default simple tip for reflectix users

When you put reflectix or any other sound/heat reducer down, you might need to put a small piece of plastic down in front of the emergency brake so that the plactic slide on your handle will slide on it and won't catch on the reflectix and get in the way of the e brake. After I did mine, when I pulled the brake on and tried to let it off, the plastic slide would catch on the reflectix, I cut and taped (bubba fix) a piece from a plastic milk carton to the reflectix. Works slick as snot on a doorknob.
