shoes the works. the master is pitted and the booster needs a complete overhaul. should i swap in a master booster duel unit frame mounted if so what
would make a good doner. i am not interested in a
hydro power steering unit. thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 | Sounds like a good idea.
I would lean toward a bracket that mounts the assembly to the frame with a longish push rod going back to it from the pedals.
I like a hydroboost, but you should be fine with a vacuum booster, I just don't know which one would be best for you.

They will get you fixed up there, but I don't know how hard it will be to get wheel cylinders sorted out. Keep us posted. Jim | | |
