Brake Booster - BENDIX Hydro-Boost (Continental)

System utilizes power steering pump fluid pressure to operate booster. Assembly contains an open-center spool valve which controls pump pressure during braking, a lever mechanism to control position of valve, and a boost piston to operate master cylinder. It also has a reserve system which stores sufficient fluid under pressure to provide at least two braking applications. Brakes can be applied manually if reserve system is depleted.
