Bill,
Do you remember if you used the 5" or the 7" ?  Someone has said that the 
5" doesn't give as much boost as the Girling  5".
 
And does anyone know if the MKll that used a 7" just  had more boost or was 
something changed such as the MC to  compensate?
Thanks,
Mark

I  installed a Lockheed Brake Booster about 20 years ago and it still  works
perfectly, easily locking the front wheels. I did not use a VB kit  but
installed it easily myself. I used cushioned hose clamps on the  tubular
firewall to front fender supports to hold the body. I then made a  bracket 
to
fit between existing holes on the firewall and fender to hold  the snout 
with
another cushioned clamp. As I recall I had to make up one  new hydraulic 
line.
If anyone wants pix let me know or check it out at the  Queen  Mary.

Bill
