Hi,

=20

I finally finished my Tiger enough to take it for a test drive.  First =
drive was good, so I went for a longer drive and the brakes locked up.  =
Seems to be a classic issue where the booster sticks.  I can crack open =
the output line and the pressure releases the brakes.  But they lock up =
again when I apply the brakes again. =20

=20

So, I am trying to make a line to bypass the booster but I'm having =
trouble finding the female fittings that will mate up with the lines =
that go to the booster.  Does anybody know where to get them or what =
they are called?  The female threaded part appears to be 3/8"-14 and I =
think the tubing that goes into it  is 3/16" with a bubble flare.  I =
have plenty of tubing, I just need the fittings. =20

=20

Thanks,

Joe Brown
