Sorry, meant brushed.

Let us know if you have modify that brake pedal to make it work. I was looking at mine and it looks like there is no hole for the brake switch press plate...? I ordered the matching pedal for mines yesterday... I need to quit checking in here lol.

ok..gotcha. lol. there aren't many good pics of it, but if it looks like the one in the pic I shared, I will need to do something with the mounting shaft. hopefully they're both the same size, and I just need to make a spacer for either side of it, and modify the bracket for the switch....Ill let you know what happens...

Re: My 86 build
So you need to tell how she stops with no booster I'm not running one either, but my buddy says I should run a booster. He had issues with a old hot rod that he didn't run a booster on. Also do you have discs out back or drums either way let me know ( stainless lines are hard to bend compared to steel I'm running stainless hardlines on my truck had to join the gym to get it done)

that's a cool set up too...I was thinking of doing it the under dash set up before....what size bore is the master? you need to run 1" or 7/8" for manual brakes..mine is 7/8 bore, 4 wheel disc....
