He mixes up a witches brew of race gas and chemicals I can't even pronounce. I even suggested to him that after solving all leaks and getting a dual diaphragm booster, if he still has problems he should get a 30lb R134 canister and use that as a vacuum reservoir! Just hide it in the trunk and plumb it with 1/2" PVC water pipe up to the booster. How's THAT for volume? The electric pump can suck it down as the engine warms up and it should be good for endless brake applications. Or is that too shade tree? HA HA! I await his reply......EDIT: and I got it. He laughed, but agreed it would probably work. He is getting a new booster and master even though when they were new he still had to brake with both feet.
