Re: 90 XJ ABS power booster
 

glad you are feeling safe now! ;-)
I agree with you, I would not really want one on my vehicle. lol

Oh and it sounds like it might take part of a day to change it over in case

Just prepare all of your parts before you take your XJ offline. ;-)
Of course now you don't need to do this......now!
