kyteler Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Look how far out from the firewall the booster is sitting though. Can the space not be gained by sitting the booster further back? (I've not read anything I'm just commenting on the pictures.) Also, some Datsun boosters (I think 510 or 610, maybe even S30 and C110 (I'd have to look at my own car) are slightly "thicker" but a whole lot less in diameter. Find something like that, should be poifekt/enough room for your trumpet/lol cut trumpet you brute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 610 brake booster Can buy new from Datsport http://www.datsport.com/hydraulic-brake-booster-master-cylinder78.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Kys 610 booster idea looks ideal sprak. And nah he's not a brute, the cutdown one was a spare the mechanic had lying around, his shiny one is in the glove box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't think this was already suggested. Delete the factory booster with plate thing so you only have the master cylinder. And install a remote booster elsewhere. Look, the past! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/20139-remote-brake-booster/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr2 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't think this was already suggested. Delete the factory booster with plate thing so you only have the master cylinder. And install a remote booster elsewhere. Look, the past! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/20139-remote-brake-booster/ With a dual circuit system the OP would need to fit two remote hydrovacs. Not only would this be a big step backwards in braking technology it would result in an overly complicated, less reliable system with reduced feel and driveability that would be at best described as a “bloody plumbers nightmare”. (No offence intended but I have had far too much experience with such systems in the past). My guess would be to relocate the battery to the boot (or rear foot well if it’s a competition car) and relocate the existing mastervac/master-cylinder assembly offset to the left in front of the strut tower. Have a look at some of the early Escort extended booster setups for inspiration. What can I say; absolutely love the car, love the project. Shame you’re not closer to Auck., if I can have a good crawl over a car I can usually figure the brakes. (Worked for PBR in Aussi in the late 70’s, APPCO Brake and Clutch in NZ in the early 80’s and have been building/co-driving Targa cars for the last 20 years). Keep us all informed with your progress. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 You want a booster man, unboosted sucks. Run a small diameter booster as suggested above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr2 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 You want a booster man, unboosted sucks. Run a small diameter booster as suggested above. +1; I just don't think (from the photo's) there's enough room there to fit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Personally I would go unboosted brakes like that white one I posted the pic of, fuck with the pedal box, and get the pedal ratios and mc sizes right, add a balance bar and profit. But I can see that for sprak, getting a smaller booster is the best option hahaha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIZZO Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 But I can see that for sprak, getting a smaller booster is the best option hahaha haha this, because the difference is for sparkle to pay someone to do that fucking around, would cost a lot on pingas. I vote just disconnect the booster, lock out the back brakes, start this fucking thing up on doort some tyres into oblivion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Seems 180b/510 boosters seem a lil hard to find in a rush! I can get 310 sunny ones easily - but I think these are bigger. Basically just wanna do skids cos its so close, but don't wanna sacrifice inlet dort. Does a smaller bore m/c make a difference on unboosted setups?

tortron Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yes. It will alter the feel of the pedal it will feel softer and the brakes will be grabbier rather than come on smooth this may or may not be a problem for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I should probably check my 110 for you aye? puhuhuhuhuhuuuuseless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Haha, pretty much. From what I've read, 110 are heaps bigger. No dice. Can you check your sunny one though, and see if it looks bigger than a 610 one? Also any other smaller diam ideas welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 What is the diameter of the current one? there are small diameter generic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE: PM I'll have a look at the 110 tonight and see what size that one is/I might have a spare 110 one but I have a niggling in the back of my mind telling me the spare one I had was a different size, for some reason. That is to say, one of them was small like a 610 one and the other (I think the one actually on my car) was bigger. If I can dig out that parts car one, it could be the golden ticket.

kyteler Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 What is the diameter of the current one? These are the questions that need answered. Diameter of current one, how much space you actually need and thereby diameter requirements for replacement item. Sure, a 310 one may be bigger than a 610 one but it also may be small enough. Get your tape out you silly sausage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Do you have karate laser eyes? can you rotate the booster? aka move the vac line. (pull shit, spin drum, attach shit, I think mine is like that) Then if you still need room, you might even have room in the chamber to notch it.Of course that means sealing it up perfect again A smaller cylinder is your friend if you lack the spirit of karate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I mounted the brake booster on my e30 around the other way so uses the same bolt holes but is mounted under the dash.and just reverse all the fittings. And use the long brake line on sort side and maybe make 1 new one for long side......total cost....1 brake line....if you don't have and others hanging around. On a side not mine was a race car.....so fuck all wiring and shit under the dash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
