I fabricated the stepped link between the brake lever and the booster. It works but would look better if I just joggled the pushrod. (Fabricating a new engine mount would allow moving the booster up so a straight rod would work fine, also.)

I used to drive a Citroen. The DS had a power brake system that relied on hydraulic pressure (engine driven hydraulic pump) for stopping. They had an accumulator capacity to allow for 10 panic braking stops from 60 MPH with no pressure from the engine driven pump. It was safe...but I still had doubts.
