Does a 67 Duetto have Brake Booser?

Duettos did not originally come with a booster, however, I believe that there was a "recall" to install them that almost everyone ignored. So you could be "period correct" with or without the booster. As Robert said, however, the booster cars had 22 mm MC and the non-boosted cars had 20 mm MC. I'm still working on converting my Duetto to a booster system, just because as I recall, the non-boosted system required a lot of foot pressure, and with a prosthesis on my right leg, was a little more than I could handle. It will not be "OEM" because I don't have a car to get the "period correct" brackets from.

However, if I was doing a complete restoration for concours purposes, I would probably leave the booster off. Just one of those preference things I guess.

A quick look through the parts books shows;

1) Dunlop equipped cars had no booster
2) ATE equipped cars had a booster as optional
3) ATE equipped cars without booster used a 13/16" diameter master cylinder of either ATE or Bonaldi manufacture
4) ATE equipped cars with a booster used a 7/8" diameter master of either ATE or Bonaldi manufacture

And as we all know,
US cars in '67 never came with any of the 'options' that were available in Europe.
They also had a wide range of body colors that we never saw.
