Did the EA82's come with manual brakes? When i switch to the motorcycle engine im going to lose power brakes so ill need to ditch the booster. It would be great if i could just bolt up a manual brake cylinder, possibly from an EA81?

 

Thanks.

Nope - power brakes were used starting in the 70's.... possibly all the way back to the introduction of the EA series.

in order to get your power brakes you can use a 12 volt vacuum pump

like these

If you want to go to manual brakes, like absolutely have to, for clearance issues or what not, the old old '71-73 EA series cars had manual brakes, i.e. Gen 1 stage 1s with EA62 or EA63 engines from 71-73 at least. Other years may have had them too. I dont know if the brake pots will work in a later EA car like your Sedamn, but you could look into that...
