tuko Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 The other option that was discussed earlier still has my interest to which I've read more about. The mechanical vacuum pump delete replacing it with an electric vacuum pump. The favorite replacement unit seems to be the UP28 but I have read the UP30 and the UP5.0 are better pumps from Bosch. The above image is the UP5.0 from a Dodge Ram. With an adjustable vacuum pressure switch and an one way valve, this is another viable option with the present booster. All are interesting and viable options that I may consider in the future for the Defender after I've converted the front brakes to ventilated discs. Todd.

FridgeFreezer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 There's also the hydroboost units that use PAS pressure, as fitted to some jags I think... in fact I think I've got one in the garage that Jez bought to mess around with and never used, yours for a donation to forum funds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 @FridgeFreezer Thanks for the offer but for the time being I'm going to limit me to the options that I have been researching locally, as a matter of fact I have already ordered the UP5.0 vacuum pump from the Dodge Ram.

Sigi_H Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The el. brake booster seems to be pretty interesting as a clutch booster (operated by hand at the gear shift leaver) as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Lof are shortly going to be selling a converter to use the Defender abs double diaphragm servo unit on a non abs car. https://lofclutches.com/shop/brakes/brake-kits/coming-soon-lof-powerboost-servo-kit-for-non-abs-defender/ I'm trying lof pads on the back at the moment and although the fronts (genuine and seemingly last forever) do most of the work, I was quite surprised at the improvement in braking over the previous mintex pads.
