It doesn't really matter one way or the other for me - the car is already under $2000 when including these parts and it's also a bone-stock 1990 Saab Convertible with an automatic transmission, so it ain't going to win any awards, if you know what I mean. But... Just because I'm curious I thought I'd ask:
The Saab uses a hydroboost-like setup for the brakes where the power assist is not from vacuum but instead uses a electric pump to pressurize the brake fluid, an accumulator to hold a few thousand PSI of that built-up pressure, and a pressure switch to tell the pump when to run. The pump is fine but the switch and accumulator were failed so I replaced them with OEM-style replacements. They're both attached to the master cylinder and are pretty well required for brake function.
Would those components be budget-exempt just like "Brake friction materials, lines, calipers, master cylinders, boosters, rotors and drums"? I would assume that these would fall under the "boosters" category, but I'm not replacing the whole thing since there isn't a single "booster" on the car, but these bits that are bolted up to the master cylinder.
