I'd be with you too, Bob, except for one thing: What's the point if you 
don't have the warning light.  The car in question is a TR4 with a TR6 braking 
system retrofitted.  There is no brake warning failure light and no wiring.  
If Brad were willing to install the warning lamp and wiring then it would 
be far better to fix vs bypass.

But even without the PDWA the TR6 dual circuit brakes are an upgrade from 
the single circuit TR4 brakes.
