Dennis Quella sells a CNC dual master setup with balance bar and a single
standard power booster and has done so for years. Bolts right in.
The guy who owns the Pantera I drove across Europe had that setup in his
car, but he's a weight savings fanatic and removed the booster and attached
the balance bar/master setup directly to the trunk wall to save a few pounds.
Unfortunately his brakes stopped working as a result (which made my drive
rather more interesting than I would have liked).
Apparently by changing the master cylinder bore diameters it's possible to
get big brakes to work without a booster. Geoff has gone through a couple
of different iterations without gaining proper braking performance back;
he's going to try one more time, and if that fails he'll give up and put the
booster back in. :>)
