Trying to see where to mount my brake booster and master cylinder on the firewall. Appreciate all your inputs...

 

I don't have a really good picture of mine but here's what I have. It's a 48 F-3 and the MC and booster is from an 87 Chrysler...

 

Thanks Vern,
How high off the floor is your brake pedal? I know its supposed to be somewhat of a personal choice, but I'm thinking it should be similar to what the factory height was with the floor mounted pedal. I also saw someone on here who used the original pedal and round rubber pad and converted it to a hanging setup. I'm looking at that option as well since it was a tight fit down there from the factory. I noticed how close peoples feet were to the pedals based on the paint that was rubbed off the steering column in that area.

 

Here's mine. Its a mid 90's Ford Focus booster with an early 80's Cadillac MC

My hanging pedal assy is homemade using the pivot and pedal assy from the Ford Focus. Its attached to the firewall, dashboard, and sterring column.

Never really measured it but it's nearly in the same place as the original...possibly a little lower.

 

Bracket Fab. looks really good. Another thing on my list. So is that disc front drum rear setup? Thanks Bob

 

I'm running discs on the front and drums on the rear

I haven't welded the brake pedal pad onto the pedal yet....dang that "To Do" list

Bobby, I glad you posted that picture. I've been considering modification of a swing pedal setup out of a GM. I think I'll look at building something like yours now. Most of the factory pedal assemblies that I've looked at are massive stampings that would require a lot cutting to make them work.

Thanks

 

Drew,
Your welcome. It was fairly simple I just took the main pivot and spring and make a bracket around it. If it wasn't for the vent actuation lever I could have just used to pieces of angle iron instead of having to twist up the piece of flat bar for the righthand side of it.

Good luck
Bobby
