You probably know my opinion about the girling boosters by now, I think they can be darned dangerous.They can lock up when you come to a stop, or they can simply not work at all.I"d start by asking Jerry what he knows about the boosters and go from there. Mine were finally rebuilt properly by Karps: Until then they were very unpredictable, now (5 years later) quite dependable.But I"m still very cautious with them. Cheers, Fred
