I've got a 4 bolt 80ser one might try and see if the holes line up with the firewall if so I'll try and find a 2 bolt and check if the brake master fits. If it does work I'm not sure what to do about the vacuum switch that hilux booster has and the 80 doesnt?

You only need to change the booster if you put the Prado disc brake rear end in. Vacuum etc is perfect with the bigger rotors. I’ve been running the setup for 10000ish Kms now with no problem and awesome brakingHK1837 wrote:monaro_77 wrote:I'm with you HK1837.

I bought a modified PBR (Aussie made!) VT-VY era booster today that is a straight bolt in, just pushes the master cylinder about 20mm forward. It suits both diesel and petrol 2005-2011, would probably suit 2012-2015 as well. It has the fitting for the diesel's switch or a plug in it for the petrol engine. Will fit it in the next few weeks. The brake place I got it from fitted one to a diesel KUN26 last week and said it transformed the vehicle on standard brakes.
Doesn't look too hard to fit at all, will probably just have to unbolt the ABS module and move it forward a bit with the master cylinder to get the old booster out and new one in. Might also have to temporarily move the intercooler fluid reservoir but that is just two bolts. I reckon it should take maybe an hour and a half tops.

But I bought it from Stopmaster Brakes in Gateshead. Stopmaster thought they were 80 Series but when the box was opened we realised it was Holden, which is better as it is more boost and Aussie made so rebuild parts will be easier to get locally.
