67Rolla-Ken Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 OK, Brake booster. Anyone know what fits on with the least hassle?? Quote
Felix Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 OK, Brake booster. Anyone know what fits on with the least hassle?? Don't do it. You get much, much better brake feel and pedal feedback non-boosted. You don't need one in such a light car. If you want an upgrade, move to an early galant (or similar) non-boosted dual circuit master cyl. 1 Quote

madrolla68 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Go the RA galant dual curcuit master cyl ken, thats what i run and its stops real good (youve seen the vids from sunday). don't need a booster for pits mate,didnt come with one don't have to have one. MAtt Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 Fantastic... new shopping list: KE20 Caliper Rebuild Kit or KE55 Calipers RA Galant Dual Curcuit Master Cylinder Quote
philbey Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I've got a booster in mine mounted to the strut tower. It's a real pain in the arse, takes up a lot of room and with the dells I can't be bothered trying to plumb it up. Not only that but it looks very messy. Take a look in my rides thread. I'm going to pull it out soon I think. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 Had a look, definately doesn't look too crash hot. Will stick with the bigger master cylinder. Thanks. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 No one in WA sells RA Galant parts!! :lolcry: Anyone able to get their hands on the twin brake master? On another note, planning to build the engine next weekend! Sooo close! Quote

On another note, planning to build the engine next weekend! Sooo close! Ken I got mine from an old bunky wreckers in jandakot mate, was very lucky to get it and it was in recon condition. Thats probably your best chance. MAtt Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 Yeh, I tried 1 wrecker... will have to search a little more. I think I'm just going to get her up and running with stock drum brakes and worry about that later... not much choice at this time. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Ke70 brakes & master to be fitted next weekend. Hope to have the engine in next weekend. Have to go with the 2 Spd Toyoglide as the 3spd that came with the 5K won't fit in the tunnel. :P If I can get the engine in, windows in, brakes fitted, interior in, and trim on by the end of next weekend... I'll be a very happy chappy :hmm: Edit: I also stripped back a few parts of the engine bay I wasn't happy with (including the big crack below the VIN plate), and have put the first coat of primer over them. All the imperfections were caused by primer not being sanded properly or oil still being on the panels, nothing wrong under the paint. Should all come up perfect.
