I have a Lockheed booster I bought from Sunbeam Specialties. I have never
been sure which size it is, since there isn't a measurement that clearly
corresponds to either 5 inch or 7 inch and no other ID. It works fine,
although I believe the boost ratio isn't as high as the original Girling.
What info I have been able to find indicates that the Girling was 3:1 and
the Lockheeds are either 1.9:1 or 2.2:1. I wouldn't mind a bit more boost,
but it is reliable and an easy install.
I would be interested if anybody else has info on boost ratios and how to
positively identify which booster I have.

Subject: [Tigers] Lockeheed Booosters at VB
I saw this asked a few days back, but didn't see any replies. Has
anyone used one of the Lockheed booster kist from VB, specifically the
7' since their catalog says that's the one for mine? I just started a
brake rebuild on the Tiger, and was considering a Lockeeed instead of
the more expensive pro rebuilds of my original booster.
I've rebuilt the original twice myselg, but swore I'd never do it again
after the time that coathanger clip slipped and I had parts flying all
over the garage.
