I have a VH44? brake booster for my Fe ute.
Does anyone have instructions etc. for correct fitment?

Rabbitoh,
It is a simple operation, from the brake master cylinder
to the top fitting and then from the end of the booster
continue to the brake system
i have seem the installation done where the brake line from the master cylinder (standard) is very gently bent toward the front of the car then screwed into the end of the booster then a small pipe is made to go from the master cylinder to the top of the booster.
With this set up the remote booster is bolted to the inner guard with the vacuum diaphram housing facing the radiator support panel
Hope you can make sense of all this

Hi Rabbitoh,

If you have a look at the pictures of my car, " yellow and black fc under for sale it will give you a picture of how I fitted the booster and piping.
I used a refrigeration pipe bender to bend the pipes. I made both pipes up new and then had them zinc coated. I have a double pipe faring tool for the ends, if you dont, brake shops will happily flare them for you.
Remember your flexible hoses if your going to fit the booster, as you will only have to bleed the brakes once now.

Good luck Cheers ChrisB  8)

I have the fitting instructions,but no scanner.
Can fax them or mail a copy to you if you still need them.

They even fit nice and snug like up under your drivers side mud guard out of view if that helps. ;)
