you could rig up a with a stick to rub on the tires, just lean back and give er a yank to slow down. and some horses to go with your carriage....hahaha j/k

I'm curious as to why you want to get rid of the brake booster in the first place.

Other than that, I've really got no idea as to how you would go about doing it.

more or less all im doing is converting my power brakes to manual brakes..its more or less a drag car full caged slicks 1 seat..and everything else that comes with a drag car ...... no i dont have the power brakes hooked up now caz of the bad vac leak..........it is a commen thing done with mustangs and other cars. they sell a after market manual master cyl. its also light weight....but it not bolt on and its alot of money..............i wasint sure if i could use a master cyl off of a rx2 or rx3 or something like that

peejay

Nothing will be a bolt in.

In addition to making an adapter plate, you'll need to redrill the brake pedal for more leverage, and alter the pedal stop in case you need more travel.

I'm looking into converting to manual brakes myself, power brakes aren't very consistent. Plus, if I could elminate the booster, it would greatly simplify that independent-runner manifold I have planned...
