Gday Guys,
Just a quickie - can I fit a brake booster(VH-44) to a '77 mini with the dual tandem master brake thingy?? I am unsure and I am hearing from professed experts you cant have 7.5inch Cooper S brakes on a car without one. I know there is more effort needed for the pedal without it but can anyone shed some light please...

Hooroo

Whether you want or need a servo with S brakes is up to you, we have 2 cars without, on 10" wheels- and both stop good.
Mine has EBC Greenstuff pads, the wife's has Blackstuffs.
If you want a servo, connect it into the front circuit only. It'll work fine. :wink:

Thanks Kev - that was the way I was going to go but just needed confirmation from my learned collegues.

Just debating whether to go for a drive to Central Coast this morning to see Maxi to get those discs off him(wife is really really hung over!!! - great 40th though). I smell like a Mexican (too much Carona!!!).

Thanks again

Hooroo
