Has anyone changed their brake system?
I looking into changing my system from the current set up to a vacuum system has anyone done this to their car, if so how did it turn out and how much did you invest?
|
I'm not sure I follow you. What is your current setup? I thought they were all vacuum based??
|
The 1990 SSE models came with a hydraulic set up which didn't use a brake booster because it was a one piece unit.
|
Power steering pump assist?
|
Is that part of the vacuum system?
|
No, Powersteering assist braking is kinda like vacuum assisted, but instead, the hydraulic "boost" is provided by the power steering pump. eh, apparently not used in yours.
If you just have a normal master cylinder and some brake lines coming out, more than likely you could convert over. You would need a matched set. ie, master cylinder, and booster to go with it. Modify some brake lines, and connect a vacuum line from the intake somewhere to the booster. If you don't mind used, you could get away with spending a few dollars at the junkyard. Maybe $50-$75?? Hope this answers your question. |
Thanks for the info Mike.
|
If you could, post some pictures of what you currently have. This would help us better. Especially if you decide to convert over.

O.K. Mike I'll have them up this week.
