Brake booster mount/ linkage

Got a new booster. Now I'm cleaning up the booster to firewall mount. My question is, are these rubber bushing like pieces available anywhere?

Maybe but we'll need more information to find out. Year / model / 2wd or 4wd / engine / wheelbase / and transmission .. Put all this in your signature at the bottom of your page so no one who is trying to help you needs to ask you

That complete bracket was never sold as a separate part, it was only available with the power brake booster. There wasn't an exploded diagram of the bracket either. Ford didn't sell any individual parts for the bracket.
Those two bushings should be fairly easy to fabricate. Think neoprene hose, like heater hose.
Also, it looks like you're missing a grease fitting. See that hole on the rod sandwiched between the rubber bushings? That should have a grease fitting in it.

I'm sure the bushings are okay. I thought maybe they were available. I'll look at hardware store. Maybe they will have some nylon bushings that are large enough. Thanks.

I'd buy those bushings by the foot, a foot will make enough for friends too.

Thanks. I was using the site on my phone. I don't remember seeing those options.

Linkage

Got a couple of nylon bushings to use on linkage. Painted booster and master cylinder hammerite silver. Could not find a zerk that small to replace missing zerk. I'll probably just squirt some lithium grease in there every so often. Now I have to decide whether to replace brake lines or not.
