Who you calling pansies, we don't need no stinking booster out here man.
We stop with our feet on the ground like fred flintstone. This reminds me
of a story. oh well you guys don't want to hear it I'm sure.
On the brake issue and old mechanic once told me that if you want better
brakes then you put on a bigger master cylinder. So the earlier alpine
brake master cyl. would make your tiger brakes work much better, without
the stupid booster.(because it has a bigger bore) Or you can go to an
aftermarket master cylinder with a larger bore. "Pegasus Racing" has them
in Girling and tilton. (pegasus@execpc.com) email them for a free catalog.
See ya later, I've got to change my soles. Armand
