Brake Booster for 69 Micro
Hi,
Looking to put front discs on my 69 and was thinking about a remote brake booster VH44 from a 60's Valiant and similar cars of the era.
Anyone have other ideas, keeping the stock beam.
Also brake proportioing valve advice/assistance would be good too!
Cheers,
David

No, the later beam has different bolt spacing to the '68-'69. The chassis and pedal setup is also different which does not allow the booster/master
cylinder to line up.
David,
You can fit the later stub axles to get the disc brakes. Change the rear also to fit the later wheels. I have done this to my '68 and it works well.
I did not fit the proportioning valve.
I have seen those inline boosters on the hotrods, can not see why it would not work.
