Is this a remote brake booster?

How does it work?

yep sure is looks ugly there lol

I am under the impression that they work in exactly the same way that a regular brake booster works, using vacum to push the fluid harder down the line. The line that you want boosted (front or back) is plumbed to the remote booster and the line to the brakes comes from that.

Not much to them, or were you looking for a detailed description of how the interals of a brake booster works, try this link

That booster looks very much like the ones fitted to very early valiants.

Yeah i think the part number is VH44. The early fords had them too. The one in the pic is a single line system. You can get dual line ones as well.

I have been considering using a dual system for my Daisy, but am still undecided as its not easy to find somewhere to fit it in the lil 1k.

no from memory the early fords had weird one i think but yeah looks like a valiant one alot of people use those.

aint they on minis aswell
there are a few car that come out with this setup

only reason people put is for room and to hide the ugly piece of crap

Yeh a few cars had em factory, some had em as a option and some were purely aftermarket.

Works the same as a normal firewall mounted one.

In a small light car like a datto you dont really need it. I dont run one in my 1000 with disk breaks. Its a little harder pedal but you soon get used to it. Also alot less travel without
