Kirban Update
We are already accumulating the parts to do the hydroboost kit complete. We will first be offering what would be the basic low end kit that has been talked about here. By low end I mean going with a rebuilt 84 set up new hoses, rebuilt mc both new pressure hoses, metal T, 4 foot hose, 6 clamps etc. Our kit will be very complete it will even include a new reproduction foam precut gasket to replace the factory one from pm bracket to firewall. Afterall yours is probably crushed from 25 years. Also a syringe to drain out the brake fluid etc. Also an in line fltlter for the return line. It seems its critical to keep any debris out of the fluid. Ideally you could remove it after a few months and replace that hose if you felt the filter hindered flow.
We should be able to come in around $235 complete. This specific kit will include items that others do not offer. Keep in mind this kit as been noted requires some gentle massaging of one of the pressure lines and you have to gently bend your two brake lines at the reservoir as they are in reverse order from your current pm unit. Again based on what I have reads thus far. In otherwords a bit of skill is required to do the install. However our kit will include all the parts needed to do it. You need to bring the skill. Rebuilt parts will have a warranty.
I am also looking at going with all the above mentioned items but instead of a rebuilt 1984 hydroboost unit going with a brand new one. This would be a few dollars more of course. Also require a special bracket.
At the same time since we will now have some 1984 parts we will offer the 2 pressure lines by themselves for 84 owner as well.
Last but not least would be another version where hydroboost and master cylinder etc was all brand new.
In other words when its all said and done we should have a system available for various price ranges. I confident though at the low end I can be cheaper than rock auto auto zone etc....mainily because I buy direct as a company from Cardone and others.
I GREATLY appreciate all the posts and help especially from Texas T as my knowledge on this format is non existant.
Real quick we will have the pm bracket foam gasket to firewall shortly. This foam gasket preformed will run about $6 each.
