I recently finished installing an MBM firewall mount power brake system in my daughter's truck. While keeping drum brakes, my objective was to reduce pedal effort, add a dual system, and keep fluid servicing simple. So far, I'm happy with the results.

I got the kit at a very good price on Ebay - so good that the lack of an instruction sheet wasn't a big surprise. MBC has plenty of info on their website. Like many of the other mod kit projects I've read about here, this one required its fair share of cutting, head scratching, and fabrication. The dash brace needed a fair amount of trimming to fit, the clevis was plumb wrong, etc.

Anyway, my car only had to stay outside for a couple weeks while the truck got an update.

I was looking to do the similar. So for the fronts, did you just have to run the lines into a proportioning valve?

Don,

It's actually MBM and their website is http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/

Bodyguy,

I used an antinosedive valve to the front brakes and 10 psi check valves to front and rear. See http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/Tech-Support/Typical-Brake-System-Configurations.html
