RE: brake booster vacuum?



And this only came on the 1982 VW Caddy Diesel? Sure... I'll find one...
Btw, how is the brake feel? Is it just like a regular vacuum assisted
booster? Also, where (in the engine bay?) does this apparatus mount? Do you
have any idea how much this would cost new? Yikes! I don't know about you
but I've haven't ever even seen *one* Caddy in the junk yard.
