7" Booster?

Would this 7" booster combination be any good? Looks more compact. Might stick out too far from the firewall maybe?

Looks to me to be a bad idea Uni. Looking in my 65/72 Ford Truck micro-fische the 6.75" boosters were listed for 65/67 only. These took different M/C than the bigger diameter boosters. With 1967 being specific. So I am assuming a later model or Disc brake M/C would not work with the 6.75 booster. Prolly not enough swept area to do the job also. Jumping to 1973/ Dents, the smallest one listed is 8.8".

dual diaphram

I talked to a guy who suggested that if I want to use a 7" diameter booster I should use a dual diaphram booster. I'm looking at aftermarket units. One reason I'm considering the smaller diameter is to allow room for a clutch cable if I go that way in the future.

Ahhh. There's some more swept area but they stick way out.
