The thickness of the '67-'72 standard booster bracket is about 2" in the center. Depending on the diameter of the booster you have, there could be interference with a column shifted auto trans, if that is what you have.

The bracket on the new master/booster uses the factory mounting locations. I put a link in my last message so you could see what it looks like. My truck does not have studs anymore. During my LS swap and restoration work I removed the studs from the brake pedal assembly and drilled/tapped those locations in order to use stainless button head socket screws bolted from the firewall. Below is a picture of the engine bay with the factory booster that will be replaced with the new Wilwood master/booster assembly. The new booster is 9" diameter, which should clear OK. I do have column shift, but use the Lokar shifter on an Ididit column. I don't think that clearance will be a problem there either.

I was mainly concerned about the distance between firewall and booster face. I know your bracket pulls the booster closer to the firewall. And the new booster has a boot/rod connection that's about 3" long from the back face. Part of that boot will likely have to stick through (or interfere with) my firewall depending on your design depth.

I may take a chance on it anyway. What is the current lead time for black powder coated version. PM me and let me know how to pay. You can review the pictures/comments below and let me know what you think.

Original booster and master cylinder will be replaced with a Wilwood master and 9" booster.


My firewall no longer has studs from the pedal assembly. They have been removed and drilled/tapped.


I want to be sure that this booster boot length will work with your bracket.


The booster is 9" diameter

Since the boot on the booster is longer than 2", it will pass thru the hole in the firewall. Due to an overwhelming number of orders, I am currently 21 days out on building and shipping orders. The powder coating may take 2-3 days longer. PM sent.

Hey Captain, I need one of your 67-72 booster brackets, do you have any ready yet?
Thanks.

[Captainfab]

No I do not have any of my products welded up and sitting on shelves ready to ship at a moments notice. That is physically impossible to do with the overwhelming number of orders I have and with working 80hrs/7 days a week very week every month. I am currently 26 days out on building and shipping orders.

Calm down Captain, I only asked because on 2-12-21 you stated you were 21 days out from shipping current orders , and since you have had no further orders, I was hoping you were caught up and maybe has some extras. Just put me on the list for your next run. Thanks

I wasn't getting excited, just simply trying to clear up a common misconception on this forum on how I operate. What makes you think that I haven't received any more orders? I receive orders 24/7 and I currently have 15 of my '67-'72 standard booster brackets on order. That is in addition to the other 25 products that I fabricate for the '60-'72 GM trucks that I also have orders for. If you want one of the '67-'72 standard booster brackets you will have to place your order. I will send you a PM with that info.

I have one of these '67-'72 standard booster brackets in satin black powder coat in stock and ready to ship.
