Matt:
Booster will mean tougher pedal, but more responsive.... you'll have a great right calf in a few weeks
Care to elaborate Matt? A booster is there to make the braking easier. It works by converting the enegry from the vaccum of the intake manifold into positive pressure within the hydraulic system and hence, makes braking easier....or perhaps thats what you meant...
Mavro:
which is a lot better for braking as they loose there hot tempetuur a lot quicker.
which in its turn have less chance of becoming worped.
Vented discs are indeed designed to dissipate heat faster, and they do their job well. Dont waist your money on slotted as slotting is designed to remove dust and gas under very heavy nd constant braking however, let's face it, this would never be necessary on a road going Moke. Slotting is designed for track use and would offer little to no benefit on public road systems with speed limits.
matt - i was planning on fitting 8.4s without a booster
You may want to check with the local regulations on that. Some states require boosters (aka. servo's) to be fitted to Mini's/Moke's with disc brakes. The common VH44 booster is what most people opt for these days.
You will need to fit 5/8" (from memory) slave cylinders on the rear so as to prevent your rear wheels from locking up.
For interest sake, you may like to read about possible custom options which can arguably work out cheaper or around the same price and when engineered correctly with, much greater efficiency. I have some writing on my setup here:
