Default Under-Dash Brake Booster

Not sure if this has been posted but figured I'd point it out. An Under-Dash Brake Booster & Master Cylinder from RRS. This is a pretty sweet setup and said to be an easy bolt-in! I was just commenting to my father today while in his engine bay (literately) cleaning up how I hated the booster in the bay as it takes up so much room. We're replacing the 304 with a newly rebuilt 360 in his 72 AMC Ambassador 2 Door Hardtop SST while waiting for the 67 mustang to arrive.

how do you check and refill your brake fluid if its under the dash....

or is the booster the only thing inside, and the master cylinder and tubes are run to the firewall?

Thats a nice unit, I really could have used one with the 32 valve mod engine.

I wonder what the price will be. I am sure it is not cheap.

Looking at the hoses and reservoir I'd say the reservoir still gets mounted in the engine bay.I thought its a sweet setup and for anyone doing a clean and no showing wires in the bay this is perfect. Though I can well imagine what the cost will be.

I am going to guess the price will be about $800.

Yeah, cool for a hot rod application where you need the room and want to make it look really clean, but not the most practical thing in the world.
