I have a 51 f1 truck and i am doing a frame up restoration. trouble is this is my first restoration. I want to covert the front brakes to disk so i need a power booster. i have bought everything but speedway motors told me "you need to custom mount the universal booster." Has anyone done this? if so can you comment or give me advice or email a couple pictures to give me some ideas. Running into a busy time of year for me and i would like to get this mounted and frame painted before I run out of time. Any help i would appreciate. Thanks.

 

Classic Performance Parts have EVERYTHING you need in a kit for about $300. This includes all brackets, booter, master cylinder, proportionaing valve. I used one on my 1952 F-1 and it was a slick bolt up deal. Even kept the stock brake pedal.

 

I have purchased booster/master cylinder combo already. loooking for a way to do this with out having to spend another 300$$. I will take a look at Classic Performance though. But would like to use what I have unless absolutly can not.

 

Is this the kit you were talking about from CPP, 4852BB2 ???

 

I have the bracket you need for this conversion. I bought the whole kit but I did not use the braket because I moved the booster to the firewall. Email me at home@ whittz if you would like a picture... $50.00 plus shipping and it is yours...

 

I will be sending an email this afternoon. I am undecided if I want to buy that bracket. I cut the cross member just a bit to make the booster fit. But I still need to brain storm how to bolt the booster to the frame. That bracket will solve my brain storm but just thinkin how much more I would like to spend.

 

What is your email address Gt40racing?

 

I got my from speedway for $240. Shipping was like $10. It was a promotion they were having. You might want to look there first.

 

Well I have already purchased the kit as I stated a while back. Just didn't get the bracket. So I decided not to pay more and have to go.back to speedway to return and deal with that. (waste of time money energy and gas). I built brackets to make what I have work.

 

home@whittz.com is my email....just pay the shipping and the brackets is yours. Send me your address and I will box it up and get it out.... just want to help you out and it is just sitting on a shelf here....

 

Thanks gt40 but I decided to make a bracket for this. Not as difficult as I had first thought. I was in a time pinch and some weather rolled In allowing me to get it rigged up. thanks for your help and consideration though
