I have a slightly larger booster and sized master hanging on my firewall..

I don't know if that is the right bracket however. the one I used bolted between the firewall and the dash to provide some additional firewall stability (as it will flex when you step on the brake otherwise)

Email the seller directly. I have dealt with him on a lot of brake setups and he is great about tech support and knowing what is what. If he says it will work, it will work. Good luck.

Do you have a picture of the booster on the firewall Sam

Bjorn,that unit is what I have sitting on a shelf,for a future project.It uses a smaller vacuum unit and is designed, along with the extending bracket ,for trucks that have the firewall mounted brake and clutch master cylinders.The bracket/smaller booster are necessary because of how close the clutch and brake master cylinders are.And teardropty is right,that guy,IrishDave is great to work with.Contact him with your exact info,and he'll sell you just what you need.

Sam where did you buy it

sdetweil 02-26-2011 06:20 PM

the hanging pedal arm, and booster were bought separately from ebay.
the master is the new chrome MCP booster from classic performance products

I like this master cylinder cause it has a built-in adjustable proportioning valve, and a brake light switch port too.
