Mostly question for Craig but am curious if the new booster used on the Panther site car was the single or dual diaphragm and what the difference in assist is between the two. If a single was used, is there enough difference in boost that the pedal ratio might be able to be lowered?

<p>Although MPBrakes sold a dual diaphram, it was in 8 and 9 in diameter which is too wide to fit in the BTV location. I used a 7in one. A 1:1 pedal ratio absolutely would NOT work! Hence, the pedal relocation and mount change to get 3:1 ratio.</p>

Second question is re the mounting of a master cylinder. Are the boosters specific as to a particular size or could a smaller one be fitted if found that would more closely match the Packard bore.


<p>From MPBrake's catalog, it looks the MC-booster mounts are limited to a few standard configurations, but you'd have to ask them to be sure.</p>
