Power brakes????

I have just finished up a complete brake job on my 79 VW bus and was thinking of why you couldnt place the vacuum servo under the fuel tank of a 914 and have power brakes? I know that there's much more than that involved, but I just am interested if anyone's ever done this?

Well just so you don't fall off the page without a response. Yeah thought of it, but not alot of room under there. Most guys just upgrade to bigger brakes and master cylinders until they gain the hydraulic advantage they are looking for.
I am sort of getting used to the stock 914 brakes just have to be able to squat more than an "NFL line backer". Actually not as I can lock up the fronts pretty easily if I want to.

The lack of power anything is actually something I like about my 914.
