Yes you can fit an AUII Booster to an EF/EL. You will need to redril your firewall to take the 4 bolt pattern of the AU Booster and you will need an AUII Master Cylinder.

apart from the above mentioned are the AU S2 brake boosters/master cylinders any better than their earlier model EF counterparts?

I've just purchased an EF Fairmont S1 but the bloke told me he thinks the brake booster is stuffed. How do i remove the brake booster off of the Lane?i have heard of others using the au2 booster on ef and no where has there been a mention of my issue??... Are the bolts on the inside of the car above the brake pedals etc? |

I fixed this problem the second time by buying some reflective foil tape & covering the plastic drum
two fold fix; 1- reflective foil prevents heat 2- completely encasing the drum, thereby holding the piece together
