Hi All
I was thinking of adding front disc brakes and power assisted dual system to my 1976 series3 SWB. As there is no power steering on this model is it possible to fit Hydroboost upgrade ?
Generally am I on the right track to inprove the safe brakeing of my Landie.
Thanks
Geoff
Would just need hydro pump of some kind, either power steering pump or pto hydro pump?Quote:

So for those that have actually fitted and are running one, are they worth it for the pennies? Are the brakes significantly better?
How much is this kit?

Yes, YesQuote:

Only thing to consider would be legalities of removing ABS? May have to be engineered, Or is there a way to add hydroboost to ABS vehicle.Quote:
