Hydro brakes ?
Any one on here fitted "Hydro Brakes" ? I've been looking into these and in touch with a guy in the States who's going to make mine . However he's told me he's just sent some out before Crimbo to some of you guys in Aus. I figured you must know who it is fitting them down your way
I'd love to hear some first hand knowledge etc
Cheers big ears

Don't have to go to the States to buy one of these. Mark's have had them for a while.

I have thought about it for a while. What price can you get them for from the States? Do they have all the fittings to bolt straight in to a Patrol?
UK rates may be better than here - the main problem from the States from most businesses is freight cost.

They're 260 UK pounds for the booster plus a bit of post. He does a kit that allows direct plug and play fitting to bulkheadand also joining kit for the power steering pump hoses etc. Waiting for the prices of that bit. About half that Aus price ker ching

Just checked that link and to be fair that one is a complete kit. trouble is for me the courier costs and customs cost a bomba From the states the carriage is cheap and half the time no customs too.

There is another mob selling bigger brake boosters for the GQ/GU for about $900.
was in 4x4 aust mag just recently.
IMO you might be better off fitting braided hoses first

For sure, braided hoses going on and a bit longer too. Just for extra axle travel, eventually.

Braided hoses are a must as you are usually doubling your line pressure with a hydraulic booster. If you are going to spend that sort of money you would be crazy not to upgrade the rotors and pads. Unfortunately I have not come across any four piston callipers that easily fit a Patrol (without modification/adaptor plates that would have to be engineered etc).
It's an expensive exercise - but you would have a Patrol with really good brakes.

Ah luckily here in Blighty we can do more mods without the nanny state interfering I've got GU axles and "Rotors" etc So the brakes are already bigger . Running 35" muds so good brakes are kinda handy eh

PID diesel are the ones here in oz that started making that kit and marks copied it from all the whinging and moaning on another forum.

Dont the calipers of a Ti have 4 pistons plus the rotors are a tad bigger as well
Dont forget one of our vendors is selling braided kits at a great price IMO
