Can’t find one off-hand they appear to be going for $90-$150 used. Apparently quite a few GM Vans also use the same setup. However this might pose a problem I just remembered you are not installing power steering. Hydroboosters are usually driven off the high-pressure line of the PS pump from the sounds of which you don’t have in place. Might possibly want to look into some older non-power assisted brake setups however I’d be a bit iffy on that route given the amount of power the car will have in this application even if it is lighter. ---

Guess I’m late coming to this party. It’s projects like this that make my time-wasting time here worthwhile. 🙂 Access to a quality machine shop doesn’t hurt - love the milled parts. This should be a fire-breather when it’s done. :tup: ---

You might want to look into a manual brake setup off an older car. Seeing as what you have will be a good deal lighter than what they were used on in their time it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. ---

Than you get a suicide line off of older cars, most cars went to power and lost the suicide line in one movement ---
