Hydro Brakes?

Anyone have any info on where to get this setup? Or how much they cost. Looking To Buy Them But Cant Find Anyone That Sells It.

For Anyone That Doesnt Know What HydroBrakes Are, They Are A Brake System (Master,Booster) That Run Off Of The Power Steering Pump And Provide So Much More Pressure Then A Vacum Setup...


Thanks,

You'll find it in a junkyard under the hood of an old van or pickup.

We just picked up a cutlass with the stuff swapped in from a Caprice wagon.
It looks factory, I bet it'd fit a 3rd gen with a little work.

I have a Hydrobooster setup in my veggie CUCV, the only reason it has that system is it has the 6.2 diesel and does not make enough vacuum to run a vac booster. Unless you have some knarly cam or something I would stick with the vac booster.

Diesels don't actually make any vacuum. Most of them have a belt-driven vacuum pump for the brakes.
