Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Are there anymore of these kits available. I'm still a couple weeks out but, this would be a great swap from my mechanical linkage on my 72 K5. Captainfab please send me a PM if you could. Thanks

If you're talking about the clutch master, yes it is. Unless your particular slave cylinder or hydraulic release bearing requires a different master cylinder.

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
What is the price of just a base plate setup without the clutch master and booster relocation? With the booster relocation, do the brake lines need to be rebent or replaced? I have a 71 and I read the holes do not line up so I am trying to get something as bolt-in as possible to save time on my swap. Thanks.

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
If you delete the booster mounts and the clutch master the cost would be $147.50 plus $13.65 for shipping.
In moving the master cylinder much closer to the firewall, I would imagine that the brake lines will need to be bent or replaced. That is correct, the '71-'72 boosters are not compatible with any of my booster brackets without modifying the booster bracket. This is why they are not on the list of compatible boosters. Quote:

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
The Wilwood clutch masters went up in price again, so I had to raise my price on this conversion.

Lucked out and found a hydroboost (77 G30), and it bolts right up to your bracket.
Score!! |

Got mine installed, took a little more trimming of the firewall bracing than anticipated, but went together and works butter smooth...

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
The '69-'72 cab is slightly different than the '67-'68 cab which requires moving the clutch master. Consequently there is some inside brace trimming required on the '69-'72 cab

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Hey captain, the action of the linkage forces the piston to go in at a bit of an upward angle. I’ve been reading on these Wilwood girling style masters and they seem to not like being off center. Any thoughts? Anyone else had issues? I’m concerned with sealing and longevity of the part due to the misalignment.
Thanks -Chris |
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
I am aware of the slight angle issue of the clutch master pushrod. In a perfect world, it should be perfectly straight, but this isn't always possible, especially with a retrofit situation and to be cost effective. Of the couple hundred of these conversions that I have made and sold, I have had only one report of a clutch master failure.

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Thanks for the quick reply. We’ll run with it and see what happens

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Can this kit be retrofitted to a Squarebody or do you make one for a Squarebody?
|
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
I have no idea if it could be made to retrofit into a square body. No I do not make a hydraulic clutch conversion fro the squarebodies. I see really no need to when all you need are the factory components from a '84-'91 squarebody, which came from the factory with hydraulic clutches.

Thanks for the info will follow that up

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Captain,
I'm a dealer for Wilwood so I don't need the master. I also have started my hydro boost swap and mine is bolted directly to the firewall so can I still order the brackets kit and associated pieces for just the hydro conversion in bare steel? Thanks, GT |
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Are you wanting just the linkage, or do you also want the booster bracket without the booster mounts?

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Hello Captainfab
Looking for a kit for my 70 C10. Already have power brakes and don't want to redo my lines (again) so I'll take the flat bracket. Looking to use a Howe Racing Hydraulic Bearing which specs a 3/4" master. Thanks |
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
I am interested in purchasing just the clutch items as I have the clutch master already. (linkages, clutch mounting plates) I have a 1970 c10 with a t56 and hydroboost.
Thanks Matthew |

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Just got mine today... I didnt think to ask and I dont think this will work with my particular DM... ☹️ Did a search, couldnt find any data on this matter.
Anyone...? |
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
What is this DM you are referring to?

Ive been looking at that VanNatta Fab truck. They have the small master not so far over and slightly higher than the brake master. Tryin to get some info from them. Did some measuring today, looks like a 1.25 stroke would work if mounted about 2” down from the pedal pivot and it could be a 1:1 link. Just a theory so far but could work in a higher position. Gotta think on it some more. |
Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Interested in the kit, powder coated satin black. Just need payment info, amount and eta.
Thanks! Neil |

Re: '67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion
Figured I would add some photos of the mock-up I just completed. For those considering this kit, I will say it makes life pretty simple..
I started first by simply installing the brackets to get an idea of how it will look, and to ensure I had nothing interfering both inside and outside the firewall. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...79d370_k_d.jpg Then I marked and drilled the two mounting holes and inserted hardware to just to make sure the hole saw would not move the bracket around while drilling the center hole. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...dd25d7_k_d.jpg Things look good at this point, now onto adding the master cylinder and linkage https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...67a7ad_k_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b4ff9d_k_d.jpg [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1b22f2_k_d.jpg While this was not the final assembly, its obvious how well this went together. Once I get a bit farther in my project, it will all go back in for the final time. Now understanding no two of these trucks are identical, (and I am a bit anal), I shaved a few thousands off the standoff to provide perfect alignment. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...244e76_k_d.jpg Last step was to ensure the the rod was level, mark the clutch pedal and drill the mounting hole.. Thanks, Drew |
