It shouldn't be too tough but you are going to be looking at least $1,500 in parts.Has anyone added a power brake booster to their '55?
I built a barn find 55 and thought I needed a booster on my disc brakes. Before I did that I switched my pads to organic instead of ceramic . It worked! Car stop great with manual pedal.Has anyone added a power brake booster to their '55?
Rick: Did you do this retrofit in your car? I think the booster installation is easy, but not sure how easy is to move the battery to the trunk.if you're talking about a remote booster like original I found an aftermarket on Amazon. $180. bux Personally I've been thinking about putting the battery in the trunk and mounting a regular dual system master/booster at an angle where the battery was.
Hi Roadkill, can you help me out with a organic brake pads you mentioned. I have tried to look everywhere and can't locate them anyplace?
