Dave,
Yep, a brake booster will bolt right up AFTER you drill the 4 holes & the
big one in the center for the big rubber boot & push rod to come through the
firewall...oh and don't forget about the aluminum spacer between the booster
& firewall...it's about 3/4" thick.
I have lots of rebuildable boosters so come by & see me. You can always
make a rubbing off one of my 250s or TR6s...all the same.

Subject: [TR] Retrofitting a dual circuit brake master cylinder to a TR4A
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 11:10:27 -0400
List,
I ran across this racing TR4A on Ebay yesturday which seems to have been
fitted with a TR6 brake master cylinder. It appears to not have a brake
booster installed. I contacted the seller to find out how he did it but have
not received a reponse yet.

Seems like a nice way to increase the safety of the brake system in a semi
stock manner. Has anyone out there done this upgrade? I would be interested
in what was involved. Since the TR-250 body style is very similar to my
TR4A, I wonder if a 250 brake and clutch pedal/master cylinder setup would
bolt up if I drilled holes for it in my 4A??
I am going to have to buy rebuilt master cylinders for both the clutch and
brakes anyway. If I installed a 250 master cylinder setup, I could also
install one of those brake circuit switches to monitor the two systems.
Hmmmm..
