Title: Brake booster "type" Post by: Digger on June 24, 2002, 12:55:27 AM Hi Guy's,
Im looking for some advice on fitting a brake power booster to the fire wall, I'm currently running LH disks and callipers with a 1"tandem master cylinder boosted by a VH40 and would like to change it. What I would like to know is what booster I can use and is there one that will fit and have enough room to mount the clutch master cylinder as well. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank's Steve.

I USED A BOOSTER AND TANDEM MASTER FROM A HK HOLDEN. IT FITTED LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR THE FC AND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER EITHER. HOPE THIS HELPS REGARDS ACE 8) Title: Re: Brake booster "type" Post by: Digger on June 24, 2002, 07:13:00 AM Thanks a heap ACE, ;D
Ace could you tell me if the booster is mounted with 2 or 4 bolts, I was hopeing that the booster might bolt up to the holes I drilled to fit the master cylinder. ??? Regards, Steve. Title: Re: Brake booster "type" Post by: Ed on June 24, 2002, 09:08:04 PM Digger,
the booster has two bolts vertically oppposed and a third smaller one just off to the clutch master side. I welded up the holes on the HK booster and redrilled them to suit the original FC brake master mounts. The third bolt I drilled a hole for it and welded a nut on the back of the metal plate. I also made a strengthening arm located up the front of the booster to stop any potential movement whilst driving.
