Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Captainfab** · 11-04-2010, 12:02 AM

This bracket can be used with either the boosters listed, or you can use your existing booster. To use your existing booster you will need to elongate the booster mounting holes in the bracket slightly. I'm not sure if the newer boosters are necessarily better than the '67-'72 boosters, but the S10 dual diaphram boosters should help if you're low on engine vacuum. Plus the newer boosters are much easier to find in a wrecking yard if you can't afford a new booster. You can also convert to hydroboost very easily using this bracket and my hydroboost mounting plate.

Recent feedback shows that this brake booster bracket will not work with the column shift when using a vacuum booster. The hydroboost should work, but I have not confirmed that yet.

Hello Captain, it's me again, lol,

What source vehicles have the small 7" and 8" dual diaphram boosters that work with your adapter?

Thanks

I'm not aware of any OEM applications with 7 or 8" boosters that will work. You'll probably have to go with an aftermarket booster, and elongate the mounting holes slightly.

Is this something that can be clearanced in the bracket, or does the shifter hit the booster?

I've had this on my list of "to-buys", but now it looks like I can't...

The interference is with the booster itself. I can't say for sure just what could be done to work around it as I have not done an installation like this. This is just feedback from a customer that had an issue with his column shift auto trans truck. A smaller booster may help. Or you could just go with a hydroboost. The hydroboost units can be turned upside down so the hoses are on the bottom, if that is a concern.
