Hello All:

CAT lists a brake servo bypass line amongst their parts: 
<http://www.catmbr.org/parts05.html>.  Good idea to carry one along in the 
traveling kit.  They don't list a price, so it may be out of stock.

In the early days, when I first got my Tiger, I pulled up to a light 
alongside a Sprite.  He looked at me and I looked at him - you know the 
story.  He yelled something about Alpines and the supercharger on his 
Sprite, but I just ignored him.  Anyway, the light turned green and he was 
off, spinning his wheels and all.  I eased off the line, letting him get 
about 30 yards ahead and then nailed it.  I shall never forget the look on 
his face as I blew by.  I backed off after a bit and he caught me and 
motioned to pull over.  We had a nice chat and admired each other's 
cars.  A few weeks later, I was at the dealer's and noticed what I thought 
was the Sprite on his lot.  I asked about it and the salesman told me the 
guy had traded it in on a Tiger!  Another believer.
