Picture Request - brake booster -> pedal
 

adding a brake booster. The push rod / plunger that goes through the firewall to the pedal itself is different than the one that comes with my master cylinder.

my rod is 6-8" with a circle at the end that has a bolt go through it and the brake pedal.

seems all the brake boosters have a stubby 3-4" rod without a hole for a bolt. I'm sure there's a bracket or adapter i'm not aware of. curious if anyone with a brake booster could show me a picture of how it connects to their pedal.

Or is it a different pedal?



I found this thread from a few years ago, but not sure what that adapter is or where to snag one.

1st pic is where the rod connects to an adapter, which is mounted around the middle og the pedal shaft. the left side of the bracket hit a bumper to keep tge pedal up. 2nd pic is the upper mount on the pedal shaft. The rod coming off the brake pedal shaft is bolted to a support by the bolt in tge 3rd pic.

Thanks for the pictures, guys. Much appreciated.

It was too dark by the time i got home and not worth teh hassle of taking a light out to it (cant drive it, i ripped hte driveshaft out to replace the carrier bearing).

Going by memory, i think i might have to make a mount or adapter for it.

It seems your plungers/rods are different than mine, or you have an adapter i don't have or havent found.

I ordered this one with that plunger (notice it says picture may not be exact model)

a bit annoyed since i went out of my way to find a brake booster with that specific rod/plunger and i get the same one i had found elsewhere. oh well, will just have to find a way to make it work.


i didn't properly try yet, but maybe i can remove the plunger from teh brake booster and recycle the plunger i have from the master cylinder.

The best I recall......Manual brakes and power brakes not only use different plungers, the plungers are set a different angles for power vs manual. Manual brake plungers are at a straight line between the master cylinder and the pedal, power setups have the plunger going upward to the booster.
