Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

Captainfab,
What is the depth of your bracket top and bottom?

Would the use of the '88-98 S10 (or similar) booster be essentially the same additional power as a 3/4 or 1 ton booster? It's just a matter of it being dual diaphragm?

Do you know the diameter of the boosters you recommend?

Does having the booster closer to the firewall lessen the stopping power of the power assembly because the arm is shorter and therefore has less leverage?

I ask because, before coming across your bracket, I was wondering why I couldn't just mount the booster directly to the firewall. I'm just thinking it looks better without that deep, ugly bracket, and I'm running the straight six with the stock air cleaner, so I need the clearance. I hate the look of the offset I6 air cleaner that puts it over the valve cover...hate it. Your bracket may be the way to go if I can make sure I'll have the air cleaner and throttle cable clearance (because of the I6). I'm using a Lokar floor shifter, so the column shift is not an issue.
Sorry for the twenty questions!
Thanks.
