Default Re: Booster for Bendix brakes : options, opinions?

Oh, I never have a problem with the booster being too aggressive. It operates just like any other power brake system in my experience.

The VH44 has DIN type of brake line threading. These require a "bubble type" brake line end versus the SAE double flare. I found that I could not get a leak tight joint for one of the DIN fittings. I re-threaded a 1/8 NPT by 3/6 male inverted flare fitting so the 1/8 NPT was changed to a 3/16-24. I used blue Loctite threaded into the VH444 and problem was solved.
