I decided against leaving the brakes as they were and started looking at what I could do to improve them. After a bit of research I decided on either a dual 7″ or a 9″ to replace the existing booster. After a few emails I got hold of a dual 7″ in the UK so I was set for the weekend to work on it. The original one came off without any hassle, but was slow going due to not being able to get a spanner into the bracket and only turning about half a flat at a time. With the master tied up out of the way I did a quick test fit of the new one.

No problems fitting it on the outside, but the rod that connects to the clevis was about 3″ or so too short. I had a dig through my big washing up bowl of old bolts looking for an NF bolt to weld on with no luck. I did find a joiner sleeve though, so decided to use a long bolt with thread on about a third of it and cut it down to suit. I cut a new thread, and after a little trimming screwed it all togetherand put it on for a test fit. The bottom two bolts needed trimming slighlty, but apart from that it all went together easily if a little slowly. A quick test by driving in and out of the garage and they are superb. The only downside is the Procharger inlet is too close to use the rubber pipe I had previously, so the plan of making a U shape to bring the filter up alongside will have to come forward a bit. I had planned to do this so I wasnt drawing hot air from above the headers, just not yet. I’ll get the measurements to Zane and see what he can do.
