| Interesting, thanks. That"s good news, of course; we"ll stay with them. My car had Lockheed units on it at Pebble in 1993 (with a fancy-pants clearcoat over them, and all!), and I"m suprised that the car didn"t get docked points for it. Good thing you weren"t the judge. Hmmm, you weren"t the judge, were you?! If so, I shouldn"t have said anything, lest you amend the record. . . Noah ----- Original Message ----- From: John P.

They came with the Girling units. FWIW, the Lockheed boosters are reputed to be more dependable units. Best Regards, Jack Noah Mackenroth wrote: Fred: The person that I heard this from may well have been speaking very unscientifically about "old Lambo boosters" in general; he didn"t distinguish between Lockheed and Girling. Take the comment with "a grain of salt"! My units say "LOCKHEED" on the side of the cast iron cylinder, so I assume that the vacuum booster is Lockheed as well.

I can"t blame the shop; I know that these units are troublesome, Oh no!I thought the Lockheeds were NOT troublesome.Did you mean original Girling units?Or are the Lockheeds bad too? Thanks, Fred . . . . |
