Looking around the Hot Rod stuff on the web I ran a cross this Universal Remote Power Booster.
Universal Remote Power Booster (scroll down to see pic of the unit) Although the unit is pretty big it'll fit any where in the front trunk but, take up some space. Not cheap @ $695.00 plus all the brake lines you have to modify and other bits and peices you need. But can you imagine having power brakes on your 914? What do you think? Ralph 74 2.0 |

Jags, Alfas, Minis, used 'em commonly for several years. In '69, two-circuit brakes were required in the US, and Alfa had floor-mounted pedals, so they used two complete remote servo cans for that year only. They switched to hanging pedals and a conventional servo setup for '71 (there was no '70 model in the US). I've seen at least one old Volvo with one of these, too. Always seemed to me to be a great way to reduce brake system reliability. Now you had two master cylinders to go bad, not just one, and both had to work to have that circuit work. The Mini system was only used on the Coopers early on.
