Brake Booster Plunger Question
1966 F250 project. 1969 F250 with power disc brakes and power steering donor.
From my understanding, I need to cut the plunger about 3/4 of an inch and weld it back together to make it the right length.
Plunger does no pull or unscrew from the donor booster. Is it safe to cut and weld the plunger while it's still in the booster?
I tried to use the pedal from the 69 but it doesn't fit in the Bracket.
Thanks.

I cut and welded the rod coming out of a 79 f100 donor booster to fit a 66 f100 recipient. I welded a threaded female piece to the 79 booster rod so I could use a threaded eye at the end -- the ability to adjustment is a beautiful thing.

I cut and welded it while it was still in the booster -- did not disassemble. That was a year ago and have had no problems with the booster so the heat did not hurt the diaphragm inside the booster.
