What is hydroboost? Hydroboost is a type of brake assist that runs off of your hydraulic power steering system instead of the typical power booster that runs off of an engine vacuum. There are several benefits to having this system over a standard vacuum assist.
Looking to install Hydroboost on your Early Bronco? James Duff has a few different options for you to purchase.
#3786 is James Duff's firewall mod system, this means you will have to cut and modify your firewall
#3787 is James Duff's no modification system, which will save you some time during the install. Please keep in mind though you must have a specific engine, valve cover, and/or body lift combination for this system to work on your Bronco.
