Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

[HeavyHauler]

Which Tuff Stuff booster would be easier to modify for my 1968 Chevy C10 I am upgrading to 4wheel discs?

2229NB also used for 68-82 Corvette along with a mid 70's vette 4 wheel disc mastercylinder.

or

2224NB which has a longer pushrod than the above booster.

I see both are listed on your sheet for boosters that will work with your booster adapter bracket.

I don't know if one would necessarily be easier than the other. Both are going to need the pushrod lengthened to reach your brake pedal. I suppose it depends on your skills and what you have to work with.

How did you guys get your power brake booster mounted to this bracket? I purchased a 9 inch Tuff Stuff booster and there is little to no room to get to the nuts that attach the booster to the bracket?

Are the studs on the booster too long?

Yep the studs were long and created problems, but I ended up creating a tool to get them tightened. I cut down a 9/16 wrench to shorten it and was able to get them tightened. I didnt want to take the booster off as I had all other bolts tightened down already and didnt want to yank it to cut the studs.

I had thought about doing that but I am not sure if cutting the studs would have helped in my application. Thanks!

Captfab, I purchased one of your brackets for my 60 suburban and hung 90 c1500 booster and master assembly, I believe, on it. CPP brakes up front SSI valve and drums in there rear. My cammed sbc350 truck stops great!

A buddy bought a 63 with a 6.0 ls motor with discs up front and drums in back and keeps fighting a spongy/ soft pedal. He's gone from a dual 6-7"booster to a dual 11" booster and no difference and even changed to Dane master I have and wilwood valve.

I keep telling him to order your bracket, but it's been 3yrs since I ordered and thus I can't recall what exactly he gains by doing this. I believe it fixes the angle.... is there more to it and could this this likely fix his issues? Also, which bracket would he need. Here only has 2 holes on firewall, so he'd have to drill two more.

Your buddy's issue could be caused by the valve in the prop valve partially blocking one side. It could also be an issue of the booster pushrod being in the original hole and not 1" lower as most people do. My booster bracket does mount the booster/master at a slight angle which keeps everything a little more in line when you move the pushrod down 1" on the brake pedal. All '63-'66 trucks have 4 holes in the firewall and the corresponding threaded holes in the pedal bracket. That is the other advantage of using my booster bracket. All of my booster brackets utilize all of the available factory mounting holes to provide a solid connection between the booster/ master and the pedal bracket on the inside. Most people do not under stand the importance of this.

BTW this for sale thread is for the '67-'72 standard booster bracket. The for sale thread for the '63-'66 standard booster bracket is here.

Any more available for the 68

All 26 of my products are available everyday. This is how I attempt to make a living. Would you like the powder coated one I mentioned above or would you like one in bare steel? One in bare steel will currently be a 12-14 days wait.
