Jack,
Fill us all in on what you did to retro the brake booster! Photos somewhere?
I am very interested.

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.
