Power Brake Booster Braces
Does anyone have a picture of their firewall with the Power Brake Booster mounted and the braces attached? I need to see where they attach to the firewall.
Thanks Rick / Ca. |

Braces
Exactly what I needed.
Thanck You My truck came with Power Brakes, But never had the Braces on it. I'm replacing the booster, Master cyl. & brake lines and I thought I should make it right. Rick / Ca. |

Braces
That explanes it. My truck was a 70 origionally. I converted it over pretty much to a 72 over the years. And now for the brake booster.
Thanks Rick / Ca. |

Braces
I've had my truck for 35yrs without them, so obviously you don't need them.
Gm must have put them on the 71 & 72's for some reason, so I thought I would add them. Rick / Ca. |

Rick, Braces At Your Age?
Heck, I didn't even know your teeth were CROOKED! HeHe! Must be workin' hard on that brake setup, haven't heard from you. Looks like I will be in the Valley in early AUG, I will let you know as plans firm up. Take care, The Rod

Re: Power Brake Booster Braces
I have recently performed the same brake system upgrade on my 68 k20. I had to find the 5&1/2 inch booster to firewall brackets from the j yard. While retrieving the brackets off of the 72 donor I noticed the two braces and decided to take them as well.
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. |

Re: Power Brake Booster Braces
The booster is a dual diaphragm type but uses the stock braces.
