[Alpines] Brake Problem

[JACranwell at aol.com]

I've had the same issue with the booster, but it as the bypass valves (in the 
side of the unit which were sticking, and causing the booster to stay on when 
the brakes were not applied.

To test for this, just remove the vacuum tube and plug it, and try without 
the booster. The brakes will work fine, but will obviously need more leg power 
to apply.

I've also suffered the deteriorated inner of the brake hoses, and cured this 
with new braided hoses, which are definitely to be recommended.
