(08-29-2014, 08:13 AM)Simpler=Better They're very thin-look at kmaser's picture. Common on extra large American pickup trucks. Maybe Volvo has a similar part?

Another solution is to remove the booster completely, and use a larger bore master cylinder. Manual brakes were once fairly commong (think 80's pickups and cheap cars). It's all about building up pressure in the lines, you can assist by vacuum, hydraulics, or by displacing a larger amount of fluid.

For what it's worth, I plan to run a large master cylinder with no assist in my little Jeep project. I'll probably use a pickup truck master cylinder.

yeah, but with a turbocharged v12 im not to fond of not having sufficient brakepower Tongue
hydroboost will probably be the way, could one run that with an electric pump?

maybe change out the AC-compressor for another PS-pump to run the hydrboost on?
