The booster-m/c combo is good, perhaps a little too good. The problem that I have is with the reconfigured brake pedal. If this unit would work with the original 1:1 brake pedal ratio and brake pedal, our BTV replacement issues would be all but solved


Isn't that the truth! I am not totally satisfied with my conversion yet. While the latest layout has the 56 pedal in the correct location with stock look, like yours it is a bit too sensitive. Right now my car stops on a dime but I'd rather it was a quarter or even a half dollar. If I do get the feel right, can't say if it will work on anything but a 56 with PB trans. Not many would want it done the way I am trying to do it either.

Mat and I think it was Jed both gave the Electro-boost good marks. In spite of the price perhaps that is the way to go -- at least for 12v cars. Fits in with minimal modification and since the output is adjustable, keeps the stock pedal. Must confess to being a little concerned keeping a 1:1 ratio though. It claims to be good for several stops without power. With the large 1 3/16" diameter master and a 1:1 ratio, I don't think there would be a prayer for an average person stopping the car with no power.

6v cars still don't seem to have many options.
