Electric brake booster on 1968 Beetle?
hulbyw - July 16th, 2018 at 08:26 PM

I have toyed with the idea of boosting the twin circuit brakes on my Beetle. Anyone have any experience with this? I thought electric boost would be easiest but not sure what I would need.

The brakes are marginal so boosting them will just produce more heat then fade quicker, if you want to improve braking install larger brakes unboosted. these are a set I made for my new build.

just have a decent breakfast, boosting will only cover up problems with a marginal brakes system. Its all about sizing things correctly so that boosting is not required with bigger, better brakes
