Title: Brake Boosters Post by: Paul In Ireland on March 27, 2008, 10:40:13 AM After looking around it seems the VH24 was the type installed "back then" but you can't get them new anymore (unless I am mistaken). The VH44 seems to be the modern replacement - I think the VH40 is for disk brakes.
Any thoughts on boosters? Worth the trouble and money? Who sells them at the best price etc.? Thanks, Paul Title: Re: Brake Boosters Post by: FC427 on March 27, 2008, 11:06:40 AM Paul they are not just fitted to Holdens they come out in Pommy cars as well Mini , Triumph , Austin etc go see your local brake supplier he should be able to help even in your part of the world ......FC427.......

The booster just makes the brake pedal effort easier and with drum fronts the pedal becomes very touchy. Emergency braking situations will always lock the brakes and with the Irish weather I am sure that can't be a good thing. |
