Firewall mounted brake booster

Am planning to put a trimatic behind the grey and have been advised that boosting the drums would be a sufficient upgrade to the brakes that I wouldn't need to do a HR front conversion.

Can anyone recommend a firewall mounted booster w/master that would be relatively easy to attach knowing that the clutch master will be deleted?

I figure if I just go single circuit master then I wouldn't need to make too many if any changes to the rest of the system.

If your brakes are fine now I wouldn't mess with them, sure you're going to lose some engine braking going from manual to auto but I don't think it would be worth the effort. Boosted drums can be tricky and sometimes downright dangerous, especially in emergency braking situations.

Shift kit in the trimatic to aid with the braking . ;D

Why not consider the VH40 remote booster solution - much simpler and will be just as good in performance. You could even mount it under the guard to keep it out of the way.
