Ummmmm yeah wait, what?
It’s confusing but I think he wants power breaks for superior stopping power. On a side note, I think that guy must have gotten participation trophies or something and I think cleaning up this thread teaches him nothing about the importance of clear, concise communication.

Just wow! Just found this! There are so many WTF’s to this thread! Maybe some courtesy on the OP’s part, not telling mods to stay out of it, and asking understandable questions would have kept this on track.

Oh, to bring it full circle, I have done power brake conversions. I do have info to offer.....but choose not to. Not to be a dick, but I like to help when it appreciated, not expected! The info is out there, searching should not take toooooo long.

Happy New Year!

To “power” brakes don’t you just add a positive and a ground to either side of the master cylinder mounting bolts? direct from the battery without any fuses or other forms of protection? Using 22 GA wire?
Or you can use shortened battery cables and route them over to that master cylinder...D.C. direct current. Lol

Not all of us follow like a herd of sheep. Me for one, I'm too old to keep up. I'll just follow my own path.
My biggest annoyance these days... people are spoon fed info. Kids are on their phones ALL day but they won’t use them to look for facts or truth. They’ll hear one version of something and believe it. Rather than go “ huh I wonder if that’s true?” and research it. Instead they get offended and spread the same Bs.
Off topic rant over

I'm so sorry guys. I couldn't bring myself to even open up a thread labeled "Power Breaks" that was posted in the "Brakes" subforum of the "Suspension, Steering and Brakes" forum.
I just knew it was gonna be a trainwreck before it even started.
When I saw the title was changed to the proper "Brakes", I did open it and about ended up pissing myself I was laughing so hard.
Thanks for that....LOL.

Hey OP, there's no saving this thread. HK's German Shepherds are lined up and you're on the menu. Rightfully so. You posted something akin to gibberish and then fired on those that were trying to make sense of it. Doubling down by lashing out at a mod who was also just trying to help was way over the line. You might be better served if you copy/paste your first two posts from this thread over to Pirate4x4. They have very friendly and knowledgeable people over there that are always happy to help new members. Good luck.

Nor will they have the 'time' to respond to a parent texting them to find put what's going on...
Ha! Funny you should say that because I have 2-22 year old daughters who don’t like to return texts. It’s driving me nuts. I have to pick a fire truck up this afternoon from a station where one of them works. I hope she’s working so I can give her **** about not answering me yesterday.

You guys just pile on and pile on, well past the point of it being remotely funny or amusing anymore. We get it...
