Hi Fred, I'll snap a few digital photos this p.m. and post them to you
as soon as I get them downloaded. This is a pretty simple upgrade if
you are your own wrench turner...and well worth the effort in my humble
opinion. I'll type some details when I post the photos. It uses
American street rod components. Anyone else want this info?? Please
let me know off-list so I won't bother the concours advocates.
Jack

Jack,
Fill us all in on what you did to retro the brake booster! Photos
somewhere?
I am very interested.
Fred
Hi Leonard, I retro'ed my BT7 Mk2 recently. I used a popular
aftermarket remote booster (7") from a local street rod supplier.
Simple, relatively cheap (a little over $200) and really saves leg
effort. MUCH more comfortable to drive. Did I mention it's more
comfortable to drive?? It's the perfect companion to my Cad ElDorado
rear disk brakes. I did have to fabricate the mounting bracket from a
piece of 6061T6 aluminum alloy plate but that was a breeze too. By the
way, I turn my own wrenches...if you have this done by others it, of
course, will cost you more. Oh yeah, it ain't concours if this matters
to you.
Go For It!!
Jack

Has any one on the list ever retrofitted power brakes to your car. If
so, was it a significant improvement. In addition what was involved and
how much did the parts cost.
