As soon as I take delivery of the fitting for the control valve!
In reality, probably about a month.
As always We will be at a lower price point than everyone else with quality second to none.
We are selling the boosters either manual or Auto for $250.
Line kits look like they will be around $180
(plus shipping of course)

Actually, the accumulator bottles on the Hydro unit best suited for our cars is gold. It's anodized aluminum and the bottle itself is built into the Hydro. I suppose it could be swapped out by dismantling the whole unit but it's easier to live with the gold than it is to repaint it. Getting paint to stick to it would be very tough and still be resistant to contact with things without scratching.

Advantages/disadvantages? Running a remote reservoir? How hard is this to adapt to older systems?
Thanks!

There are some guys here who have already completed their swaps or are further along than me who may want to post about their set-ups...GP

So it looks like I would need the 77 vacume booster to make this work on my non-power breaks, not just the hydro booster alone. I'd like to see pics of this in a non-power break vette converted. I've gotten use to the manual breaks but sometimes in a panic stop situation I wish I had power breaks.
And here it is after completion.
I used this in conjunction with VB&P Sports Rotors and the brakes are fabulous!

Yeah the steering rack has almost nothing to do with the braking except it's a system usually already in place that the hydraulic braking system can use.
If a car is a full manual car it makes it more tricky because a power steering pump and belt have to be added, but this is not a horrible task.
Once the power steering pump is installed, and the Hydro is in place, it's just a matter of plumbing.
