I'm looking at that and just trying to figure out if it will fit in the rather small spot for the master on the Beetle .

I have been kicking around the idea of power brakes on a Beetle , with the fact that if I build up a 1303 like I want to , its going to have a 300HP+ Scooby engine . Stopping at higher speeds is a definate must!! After being a mechanic for GM for the last 5.5 years , I think I have come up with an idea to not only give me power brakes , but also power steering as well . And that would be with a Hydroboost system . It all works off of assist being provided by hydraulic fluid being pumped to the power steering and the hydroboost master cylinder from a single power steering pump . The nice thing about these systems is that the booster is a lot smaller than a vacuum unit . I haven't worked out all the details , yet , but let me know what you think.
