Hydro-Boost II



Hydro-Boost II is an hydraulically operated power brake booster. The hydraulic brake booster consists of an open center spool valve and an hydraulic cylinder combined into a single housing. The power steering pump provides the hydraulic fluid pressure to operate both the power brake booster and the power steering gear.

A dual master cylinder is bolted to the brake booster and is operated by a pushrod projecting from the booster cylinder bore.
The Hydro-Boost II also has an accumulator system which stores sufficient fluid under pressure to provide one power assisted brake application when steering pump failure occurs.
