Hey Chris,
Can you post a picture of the booster from inside the wheel well? How far does it stick in? Would it be possible to stretch the inner fender (e.g. dent it) to make space for it instead of hole?

Look for VH40 or VH44 on Google.

Interesting. The VH40 looks similar to the Bendix Hydrovac, except smaller. They are an in-line booster, with an in and out port for the brake line.
I originally looked at this route, but it didn't address a dual master solution (for front/rear redundancy) - I'd still have to retrofit a dual master, and then need to add two of these inline boosters (one for front and one for rear) to achieve the same thing. It'd work - just more work and not as clean, IMO.
