And VH40 boosting front brakes, rear unboosted?

I'm still trying to nut out what the catch-can is doing. Doesn't seem to be PCV as it's vented. Maybe only the rear rocker cover breather throws out oil.

Cheers,

I am pretty certain both circuits have to be boosted in NSW - well according to my local cert engineering guru anyway. I wasn't given a choice ( 7" dual diaphragm booster with dual circuit master) which of course means all sorts of firewall, bonnet hinge and pedal dramas.

That van is startlingly good. Making me think about a body coloured inner guard set up. Thinking, thinking, thinking....
Thanks for posting them Blacky.

Depends on the engineer… nothing in NCOP from memory that requires a booster (I could be wrong) provided you meet the pedal force test.

For the meth monster, I’m going VH40 on fronts only, with engineer happy with unboosted drums rear.

For Number 1 Sons VL, I’m going unboosted disks front/rear (Willwood setup).

Thanks Harv. That would sure make the job easier. I think I'll fish around for another certifier.

Yeah it seems to be a real crapshoot over there , at least in WA they are fairly consistent with whats required.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
