Default Info needed

Hey Guys
I have a brake booster and master cylinder that haven't been on the car for quite a few years. Do you guys have a tool that could bench test both for leaks and proper operation?

Also, I have a TF cortina running the hoppers stoppers brake kit, which consists of AU XR8 twin spot calipers up front on falcon discs. The booster is from a Gemini I beleive, not 100 sure, and the Master is a 1" from a XB Falcon.
The rear currently is commodore discs and calipers. But they could be changed to something alittle narrower down the line.

Do you think the Booster is adequate to this setup? Iam after something that isn't as touchy on the brakes as most new cars but still able to pull up well when necessary.

Any info would be great. Thanks

We send them away to get tested and the Cortina set up may be ok i don't think it is over done and you can change brake pads for better bite if needed.
