Blanco Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Subscribed, due to arthritus in my case. Found this one Ratsport much cheaper 1.9/1 and there is an old thread on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It is quite a big subject when you get started, for those with on board air............ on the bay, or more traditional but remote.........Rimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 There was a hydroboost unit out of a Jag kicking round the lab many moons ago, I believe it runs on PAS pressure but no idea of the deets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Buy any remote brake servo. Mount it somewhere. Run line from clutch master to servo. Run line from servo to clutch slave. Install vacuum line. Install vacuum reservoir (if you want to use it more than once with the engine off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I have a Red Booster fitted to my Defender 300Tdi. I do not like it, the pedal IMO is far too light, even hovering tmy left foot over the clutch pedal causes slip, bad driving ?? The plus factor here is there's a tank under the right wing, super for a better brake, no loss of vacuum. If I was to do it again I would follow Red 90's way of doing kit and it might be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW ! you have made me think, there's a return spring laying about in Defender, I wonder. Have to get them to have a look as I can no longer look up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnoK Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I wonder if a Hydroboost unit could be made to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’ve got a red booster kit , it’s expensive but I think it’s good . The pedal is very light but I had a return spring in with my kit ( I’ve got a 200tdi 110 ) which I will fit to see if it makes it any better , makes the clutch feel like a modern car . But that was my 1st project, so knowing what I know now and that the info is out there to do it diy , and it will work , I’d probably look into that before a red booster again .
