    I found this place called "Pirate Jack". They sell a lot of brake masters and boosters for a great price. Anyone have any experience with these people? The prices are awesome, but that always makes me leary. Here's the website:

    $169 for a master with a booster AND a pedal! Seems like a great deal... but is it? What would I be getting??

    Can't comment on quality but some handy info that clears up some confusion over RPVs and braking combinations

    Worth a look

    Are you running their (Pirate Jack's) master with booster too or did you just buy your RVs from them?

    Never bought anything from a "Pirate" however after looking at pirate jack's stuff on ebay and their site.. I know they are just buying stuff from here:

    http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/

    and PIMPING it.

    NOW THIS WOULDNT BE SUCH A PROBLEM.. IF THE STUFF FROM THE ABOVE LINK WORKED WELL..


    heres the story..
    over the winter I bought a brake kit from another vendor on ebay... (for a mustang two spindle) when the stuff arrived without instructions as to its installation I gave it my "best try". I soon realized that they either sent the wrong stuff, or the parts they sent were incorrect..

    I called this particular vendor, and got NO satisfaction.. so I pulled the wheel off my 40 (which has the same font suspension) and compared the setup sent to me to what I had and knew worked...

    long story short.. after some signifigant modification I got the brake brackets to work..

    my concern here is that someone with less experience who may have never installed some of these parts, might RELY on good instructions, and likewise might also may have similar bad experiences.. ha dI not had another working setup to compare all this stuff To I would have been screwed..

    so the moral of this story.. if your gonna try to save a few bucks.. do it somewhere else...

    and avoid the these pirates..
