Thanks,

Parts are still available for the hydrovacs. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | If you will have power steering then a hydrobooster is a great option.
They use PS pump pressure to help apply the brakes, and work very well.
That's what I have on my 48.

Will this work? anyone ever done this? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | It will work, but you will have to learn to drive it because it can put you through the windshield if you are not careful. It will be a whole lot more touchy than today's vehicles with abs. It will be kind of like learning to drive with air brakes back in the 60's. | | |
