Re: converting to power brakes

It seems that finding the correct power booster brackets is a problem. You will also need the connecting rod from the pedel to the booster. There is a thread about the booster (NAPA) and the mc on page 3 or so.

Doing the work is not to difficult. Remember to do a propper brake bleeding when done.
