I might be doing some business soon. Once I get my donor brake parts I will be in touch as soon as I figure things out. The donor is a 83 P30 hydro boost for my 68 C30.

**Captainfab** · 02-14-2014, 12:09 AM

I can set you up Alan. Just let me know when you're ready.

earl84 · 11-13-2014, 08:52 AM

Got my Brake booster adapter bracket and Hydroboost mounting plate yesterday. Ordered Sunday, on my doorstep early Wednesday, that's fast.
They're all painted up and ready to mount today, if I can brave the cold. Extremely nice qualtiy, and the best customer service of any transactions I have ever done. Cannot recommend your stuff highly enough.
Maybe you should start having it stamped or engraved like Porterbuilt does. Just a thought. I'd have Captainfab stuff on my PS adapter, 14 bolt saddles, and brake booster mounts. Thanks again.

earl84 · 11-13-2014, 03:55 PM

Got it all mounted, pushrod shortened and welded up, brake lines connected. Next is to run the pressure and return lines, but it was too cold to continue, so I called it a day. Sorry for the blurry cell phone pic. Your bracket and HB mounting plate sure did make this a whole lot easier. Thanks again.

**Captainfab** · 11-14-2014, 12:27 AM

Looks good

Thanks for posting a pic.

Greywolf200 · 11-14-2014, 10:46 AM

That looks really slick. Good work.

Dsuper5 · 12-18-2014, 10:31 AM

Good Morning
A little feedback, it sits on a 64 Sub 4x4.

**Captainfab** · 01-14-2015, 01:56 AM

Due to it being a PITA to get the socket back and the fact that the last guy refuses to return it, I have changed how I 'rent' the hydroboost nut socket. Basically what I am doing now is you will have to purchase the socket for $52.50 plus shipping and if you wish to return it to me after you are done I will refund $26.25 to you. Sorry to be that way, but I have lost too much time and money with the way I was doing it before.

1972 blazer 2 wheel drive, what brackets do I need to go Hydro boost? running 5.3 engine out of 2003 tahoe

**Captainfab** · 03-24-2015, 11:16 PM

You will need a '67-'72 booster bracket in addition to the hydroboost mounting plate. Do you need the standard booster bracket or the one with the hydraulic clutch conversion? And in bare steel or satin black powder coat?

205harleyman · 03-25-2015, 10:24 AM

no clutch

205harleyman · 03-25-2015, 10:50 AM

also, will the power steering pump from 5.3 2003 Tahoe work? do not think it had hydro boost brakes.

**Captainfab** · 03-25-2015, 11:43 PM

With a hydroboost I recommend using a power steering pump with 2 return line ports as is used with the factory hydroboost system. Not being familiar with your particular power steering pump, I do not know if another return port can be added to that pump reservoir or not.

Paid, you can just send them raw steel

**Captainfab** · 03-28-2015, 12:28 AM

You asked for a powder coated booster bracket and hydroboost mounting plate, that is what I billed you for, that is what you paid for and that is what I shipped to you today. Do you not want powder coated now?

that is what I wanted, just though you didn't have any ready. Thank you

pullit · 05-25-2015, 07:19 AM

Captainfab.... Is there a reason you make the adaptor bracket that moves the assembly out from the firewall and not just a single flat plate?

**Captainfab** · 05-25-2015, 11:54 AM

Yes there are a couple reasons. One is so that you do not have to cut and drill your firewall to accept the hydroboost unit. The center hole would have to be enlarged a bit, plus 4 more holes drilled into the firewall. And who knows where they will come out on the inside. Secondly with the use of my booster brackets, all the factory holes are used which properly secure the vacuum booster or hydroboost and master cylinder to the pedal bracket as GM designed it to be. This ensures that when you have to stand on the brakes, you get the full function of the brakes with no deflection in the firewall.
