[Tigers] Lockheed Booster installed

[Steve Laifman]

I replaced my leaking Girling booster with a 7" *Girling* MK IIA .  It 
was rebuilt, and failed soon.

I replaced that with a Mk II *Tiger* unit, it with fairly large 
diameter, and an end plate, including Smitty's servo check valve.  I'll 
check part umbers, if anyone wants them.

The MAJOR "trick" is to have someone who knows what they are doing, and 
where special assembly is needed.  I was extremely happy with Smitty in 
San Diego, based on a recommendation from Norman.  He even had the 
rebuildable core. This was in  November, 2004, and performing fine still.
