Hydroboost mounting ?s

I picked up a hydroboost and power steering pump from a 97 F450 but forgot to get the mounting bracket. From the looks of others with this conversion, the booster will now go inside the firewall instead of outside like the original? It's a 78 F250 HD. ford390gashog has helped with the parts list but I still don't know what it should look like when done. The factory booster also has a smaller opening than the hydroboost for mounting to the brake pedal. Any pics or help is appreciated.

I got the brake pedal assembly from a 96 f150 so I'm going to try to make that work but I'm on active duty til the end of the month so I won't know until then if it works.

You will need the mount or make one. The hydroboost should have had the large flat plate attached to it not very common for a junkyard to remove it as its a pin to do. The boost just goes in place of the old one on the firewall. Also the pedals you have will work without modification no need to use the one from 1996. Need help PM me
