    I assume disco's didnt come with hydro and you are kludging it together? That looks like a 90's chevy booster.

    correct, and its the wrong master cylinder as I just found out

    and I need one more 16mm o ring to -6 JIC adapter. Other than that its going smoothly. Fortunately I've got a junkyard line I can have crimped at the hydraulic shop tomorrow to get me going while I wait until monday to order the correct adapter from PSC (or not mess with it at all if it works)

    had a bad brake booster and my newer used master cylinder started leaking in the same spot again.

    Do I really need to justify any modification with this crowd?

    i was just wondering if you were doing it b/c the old set-up didnt work well, or if it was just cheaper to do this than it was to buy a new rover booster.

    rover brakes are a little inadequate, especially with the larger tires. I could never lock them up if there wasn't ice on the road. So far I've probably got the same amount of money in it if I was to replace them or do this.

    probably just has air in the booster, did you bleed it?

    Even if all it needs is to be bled, I would still do the PS mods cause it makes the brakes work ALOT better. Pigpen's brakes kick major ass, I can lock em up at what I believe to be 40-50 mph (no speedo). But yes the booster takes awhile to bleed, I have done the one in pigpen when I built it and the one in my crewcab when I replaced it and it took awhile both times.

    It just occured to me that the rover pump might be different than a regular saginaw type so what are your plans for boosting the pump up.
