Want to add a brake booster to a lonestar cobra

I have a lonestar cobra and would like to add a brake booster to. My question is what type of booster and size do I buy and is it all that difficult to install. My car was built with oversized rotors and baer calipers and trying to stop the car can be a problem. Also am I going to run into problems with the proportioning valve and what is the best set up for that.

I have power brakes on #310 but the firewall is much different than yours. Someone gave me the booster, have no idea who made it, but it works great!

dave how do you know my firewall is so different, was yours designed for power brakes?

Whichone,

Roy Brehm in Houston added a brake booster to his early model Lone Star. He had to cut a small place into the fenderwell in front of the mastercylinder to make it work. He loves it. If you are doing research and have some time, come to the March meet in San Marcos and he will be there for you to check it out.
