Re: Power Brake Booster Braces

When I got the parts back I noticed there where no holes or studs on the firewall to mount them to. I was not able to see any photos on this thread for some reason. Does anyone have any or maybe some tips on drilling and fabrication to make them fit.
The picture from my 69 below should help. The round brace goes to the stud ABOVE the arrow (not where it's pointing) along with the wire harness clip. The other brace will require drilling a hole for a bolt where the white circle is. There's probably a dimple at that spot. I suggest you check the precise location for the hole using your brace prior to drilling.
