Hi all the mk1 brakes are not really working as they should. Been looking at doing a brake booster/master cylinder upgrade, however trying to find a mk2 booster is a real pain. I'm just wondering if there is anything else possibly that would work in place of the mk2 one

Make sure the rear drums are adjusted up properly.Originally posted by nickosy View Post
Can I assume that you have the 239mm no vented discs on it?
I'd probably be looking to the UK for parts.
I forget, as it's been so long since I owned one, if the MK3 servo and master cylinder fit.

Let me know if you're still after a MK2 booster.

Mk3 booster with master cylinder will bolt up perfectly! You just need to change the brakes light switch to be on the pedal instead.
Mk3 drums might fit the mk1 stubs, but you'd be better off just getting the mk3 stubs with the drums for a hassle free install.77 Mk1 GLS 2 door - That sinking feeling

If everything is servicable then try new Front brake pads that are a modern grippy compound (high CoF)
Just make sure they do not require warm up for road useComment

Mk3 booster and servo will fit, bit you need to cut the input link and then thread it to receive the Mk1 'yoke' style link.
However, if you have leaking wheel cylinders or calipers, bulging lines, old crappy pads/shoes, then it's not going to help.....need to look at the whole system to ensure they all work togethersigpicComment

Is there all the boosters in mk3 all the same size? Seen what's involved and looks pretty straight forwardComment
