I'd love to eliminate power brakes entirely and I'm very interested in your progress on this. Please post some pictures of your setup when you can.

If you want a well made adjustable vacuum switch ask this company for a free sample of # 21474 Vacuum Switches PSF109S DesignFlex | High Current, Adjustable Set Point, Controllable Hysteresis :: psf109s vacuum switch series I asked for a free sample using their form and I received one in a little over a week. I didn't get any reply or confirmation - it just showed up. It's a nice switch with about about 3"Hg of hysteresis so it won't cycle frequently. Adjustment is made through the vacuum port and it performed per specifications.

I got one to use on my W115 electric vacuum pump conversion. I have the aluminum booster and master cylinder from the W201 and a new Continental pump designed for stand alone power brake use. I haven't found the time to install it yet and if I can get away with manual brakes I'd do it without hesitation!
