Pictures always help. 62 chevy suburban. I love this setup. only thing I had to do was add 2 washers to the block to change the angle for clearance for the large pedal spring. Keep up the great work Capt.

I am officially notifying everyone that I will be on vacation from 02-05-18 thru 02-13-18. I will do my best to get all orders built and shipped before I leave, if placed by 01-31-18. Orders placed while I am gone will be built and shipped in order of receipt of payment once I return. Thanks for understanding.

So I get this bracket, provide my own booster and clutch cylinder? What clutch cylinder do you recommend? I have a brake booster and master cylinder from a 97 S-10. Is there anything needed down on the transmission?

Re: '63-'66 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
 
Also if I buy this and your power steering bracket do you combine shipping?

Re: '63-'66 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
 
You must provide the brake booster and master cylinder you wish to use. I typically supply the correct clutch master for your application just as described and shown in post #1. You must have some sort of slave cylinder and mounting bracket on the bellhousing to be able to take advantage of the hydraulic clutch conversion. One option is to use a '84-'91 truck bellhousing which has a factory hydraulic clutch.

Yes I always combine shipping when possible.

I got my parts today. They look great I will post some pics when I get a chance to install it.

The Wilwood clutch masters went up in price again, so I had to raise my price on this conversion.

Everything looks awesome and shipping was super quick. Before I powder coat anything, I have a question.

I received my kit today. I am a few weeks away from installing, but was looking over the pictures and everyone's input. Pictured are what I received (along with the bracket and clutch MC). Forgive me if I missed something but is the piece in the lower right hand corner new for the 63-66 install? I have only seen it for the 67-72 trucks.

Thanks!

Yes that is an updated part that replaces the Z shaped pivot block shown in the assembly pictures. I just have not had the time to mockup an installation and make up proper installation instructions and pics with working 80hrs/7 days a week every week every month. Hopefully someday.

I’ve bought several parts from you over the years with great experiences! Do you sell this kit that works with hydroboost instead of vacuum boosters?

I do not make a bracket specific to a hydroboost only. All you need to mount a hydroboost unit is one of my hydroboost mounting plates. You remove the factory mounting bracket from your hydroboost, install my hydroboost mounting plate and bolt the assembly to any one of my booster brackets.

Hi Captain, is it possible to just do a hydraulic clutch, without the brake component to this? Potentially looking to convert to RHD (I am in Australia) and a hydraulic clutch seems to simplify things.

Captainfab 06-05-2021 10:28 PM

Re: '63-'66 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
 
I can sell you the complete kit without the booster mounts welded on, and then you can flip the base plate the other way. I no longer sell just the linkage assembly die to too many complaints of not being to figure out placement without the base plate. I could also weld the booster bracket together opposite to accommodate your RHD.

Due to an increase in the cost of having my parts laser cut, I have been forced to raise my prices. I'm not making any more money, just trying to stay in business with these increases in my costs. Thanks for understanding.

did you remove the big spring and arm to be able to make the wide threaded spacer work to attach the pedal?
