Has anyone made one for their car and if you have, can you make a step by step procedure on how you did it? Also, please include the parts list and if used, which year and vehicle they came from. Thanks, Mark

The hydroboost is installed in place of the power brake booster. A pressure line is run from the power steering pump, not sure if there's a return or not, but if there is, it goes to the reservoir. The master cylinder is two ear aluminum in most cases that I've seen and hooks to the rest of the system like any other M/C. R.

I did not like skimpy the firewall mounting plate either of them had so I made my own. I made some extras (available at www.custommachinecomponents.com ) All the fittings ,Hoses and Fire wall plate are available from Hydratech or Tallon hydraulics . I made sure I had a master cylinder with at least a 1 1/8 bore the smaller bore will make the brakes super sensitive .
