Default 95/96 booster/master swap into 94-





Lots of fun, worth it though. Braking is so much better and I can lock up my 31s now.

I recommend making new lines instead of re-bending the 95/96 lines to fit like I did.

The rod length is near exactly the same, no grinding or drilling needed to swap if you have the post renix brake switch.

I had to adjust the brake switch, to get the brake lights to turn off, only the width of the button being pressed.

Nice! Looks factory. Any surprises along the way? My 97 never seemed to stop well. I have heard of using the master (or just the booster?) out of a Grand to improve braking. Interesting that you got a big improvement by swapping a 95 into a 94.

94 had a single diaphragm booster, 95+ were dual diaphragm so there would be a big improvement.
The only surprise was how easy the swap went.
