Hydroboost Mounting Plates

[Captainfab]

I am curious as to what application you guys are looking under for the rebuilt or new hydroboost units?

I have just been searching GM or Chevy hydroboost.

Examples:

New, $145: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251050904964...#ht_500wt_1378

Reman, $120: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200726546898...#ht_500wt_1144

I pretty much did the same thing and looked for mid to early 90s units. Settled on one from a 93' Chevy Truck.

I have one from a 2005 GMC 2500HD, but I'm also using the master from the same truck. I picked up a Wilwood proportioning valve 260-11179. I went this route because I have a 4 wheel disc brakes with dual piston calipers on all 4 corners.

In terms of MC and P.Valve I'll be using the MCPV-1 from CPP. Combine the two in a pretty sleek package, as seen above in AusTex68's truck.

I'm running 4 wheel disc brakes (95' Camaro rear calipers/stock 72' front calipers) with the CPP MCPV-1. I feel my braking is almost too good. It actually took a little getting used to. It's great now that I'm trained

I can't imagine the braking with dual piston calipers.

As far as I am aware the mounting hole spacing does not matter as you are going to take off the mount from the Silverado and use Captfab's adapter to adapt directly to the mount.

I think this is close to the route that I plan on taking. I do kind of wish that I could some how adapt all of the 1500 6 lug brake components to my C10. I know you can do that on the front... but the rear would be cool too. I might have to take some stuff apart and see what I come up with.

That is good to hear!

That is correct. It does not matter what the factory mounting bracket is like. That can be removed and my hydroboost mounting plate installed. To my knowledge all the hydroboost units themselves have the same threaded 'stub' on the back.

If you want 4 wheel disc brakes, you can use the '88-'98 light duty C2500 front spindles and rotors, and assorted other pieces as described in the 'Disc Brake Upgrade Thread'. For the rear, you can use my 6 lug rear disc brake brackets for use with 15" wheels. These use the same calipers as would be on the front of the '88-'98 C1500 or light duty C2500.

Here's a link to those rear disc brackets

Thanks guys for posting the links and info on your sources for the hydroboost units.

Ditto, good to hear. My rear Wilwoods should be in today or Monday (front's are already installed). After learning how easy it was to do hydroboosted brakes I couldn't bring myself to let it be vacuum assisted, after putting such good components on elsewhere.
