WillyN is working on a conversion using vacuum assist for brakes.

I have experience with these hydraulically assisted brakes. They are much smaller in size, and could be assisted by adding a power steering pump that is belt driven, or a trailer 12v brake pump. Your foot determines the braking effect, the Hyde pressure merely helps boost the brakes. Without boost, the brakes work as good as they do on a stock PW brake system.

It is just an idea, I haven't tried this on a PW.
