	While I'm glad Ron & others can make available this eqpt for 
those who require it, I would like to remark on the good luck of 
those of us who have the early Bay before decadence set in.  My '73 
has, and needs, no brake booster.  I view it as just something else 
to go wrong.
	Just last weekend, I had a 'max stop' on a motorway, and 
found once again that my Bay stopped fine.  I suspect that any more 
pressure in the brake liquid would only have provoked the rear wheels 
to lock.

	When did the factory yield to the feeble-legged and slap in a 
brake booster?
