    Yes it is possible. You really need disc brakes first.

    Why disc brakes? With drums it will not work?

    In my opinion....Drums are terrible brakes to begin with. Adding a power booster will just make them worse.

    First things first.....convert to disc brakes. I think once you do that....you will not even find it necessary to add a power brake booster.
