Anyone know of a dual circuit firewall mounted booster from a popular make/model that will suit a HR braking system and still allow the clutch master cylinder to fit on the firewall. I fitted an LC/LJ Booster last time around, but I'd guess that they are getting expensive now  Undecided

Stinky the Datsun 180B booster is small in diameter and will provide sufficient vacuum assistance, not 100% if it will fit but it is one of the smallest I know of.

Stinky when you've made up your mind on what you need give me a yell, I should be able to save you a few dollars (better than trade)  that goes for anyone needing brake/clutch parts on here Cheesy

Stinky have a search " SHOW US YOUR BOOSTER " I started this a while back so it would be easy to search different options of boosters  and show pictures  .....FC427.......

Interesting...  I just bought a 120Y booster for my 1200 project... looks very similar to the 180B.  Except the MC bore size is different?

Old Mazdas also have small boosters.

Cheers
