Re: [DML] Delorean Brakes

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

Some of us had an "discussion" about this months ago.  

The Delorean does NOT have hydroboost, where hydraulic fluid (usually
from the power steering system) is used to aid your foot for brake
pressure.  

It only has "vacuum assist", where a half air/half vacuum situation
inside a reservoir eases required brake pedal pressure.  If the vacuum
assist reservoir is broken or disconnected, you'd certainly know it,
because the brake pedal would be amazing hard to press.  

The brake system is hydraulic and vacuum assisted just like 99% of the
cars on the road today.
