S Bug Brake Boosters?
I've seen an LBug, I think a '75, that had a brake booster, apparently a factory option? Was this actually an option, and does anyone know where I
could score one?
I assume it would fit a 73L as the only difference really was the r&p steering. I kind of want a bit extra stopping power as I'm preparing for a
future engine upgrade.

Thanks for the responses. I plan on putting it in when I put rear disks on.

Hi
Ran 4 spots all round with no booster, a booster is not needed unless you get your brake selection horribly wrong or your a big girls blouse, they
wont fix bad brakes.

all a boster really does is lessen the travel on the brake pedal, fels safer though.

Thanks for the further info! I guess I'll do the rear disk conversion then work from there.

Hi
So you only have 1 booster, do you only boost 1 curcuit or do you put the 2 curciuts back into 1?

you run front and rear,most vh44 smaller one run all 4 on one line other was the bleeder.but get a adapter that fits in the bleeder outlet ,then you
can run this on a 1500 or later twin master,there is still a bleeder just on top of the second out line,im running a remote vh44 on my cluch in my
torana...
i think one of these in a bug would be a good thing,better foot control ,and for the ladies less pushing on the pedal...
i think the vh40 would be to big,you would just touch the pedal and almost through the screen...until you got use to it... |
