If you feel that you must go down this path, you can get remote boosters, # VH44 is our local part number for one

Not sold on that train of thought . If thats all there was to it , then power assist wouldn't be standard equipment on almost every single vehicle available today . In some cases , you can get away with it , but when weight and/or speed gets too high , then the size of the pistons in the system would be just too large to be practical . I worked with this guy who had a supercharged V8 30's Ford pick-up , with drum brakes all around . He could go fast in it , but as he told me , it takes about 5 blocks to slow down . I like going very fast , but I also like the idea of being able to stop on a dime and give change .
