[Tigers] More treasures from the past

[Gary Winblad]

Original Girling kits are probably much better quality than new chinese
kits.

I have been using my old kits, seem to still be fine.

In fact, In rebuilding my servo lately, I couldn't find a good lubricant
for the vacuum piston.
Silicon everything still seemed to keep it hanging.
I found an old packet of lubricant from an old kit.  It had seemed to turn
into oil whereas I
remember it as a grey grease... BUT, it worked great.
If you trash yours, send them to me!
