Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Captainfab...can any of the above be used with drum/drum? im getting ready to work on a 63 panel/230 for my wife and need power first...then i will convert to disk at a later date if this is possible.

thanks.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Most any of those boosters can be used with a drum/drum braking system. You just need the correct master cylinder. Since you are planning on upgrading to discs at a later time, I would suggest any of the listed boosters except the '67-'70 pickup, Suburban and Blazer booster. Then for a master cylinder you will want the '70 Buick Estate wagon master cylinder. The A1 Cardone number is 10-1363. Double check to be sure the one they give you have the shallow bore. It is basically just a dimple in the back of the piston which will be compatable with any of those boosters listed.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I'm going to be ordering a booster bracket for '64 1/2 ton with discs up front. Read thru post , anyone have info or links on making / proper adjustment on making rods work ?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Are you needing to know how to lengthen the booster pushrod? Or is your question about the intermediate pushrod?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Just wondering on how to tell correct length an how to adjust. Have no problem making it longer or shorter

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

The recommended adjustment for the booster to pedal pushrod is around 1/4" to the bumpstop, but it is also a matter of personal preference. I like mine a little tighter than that. But you have to be careful that you don't preload the master cylinder. If that does happen, everytime you push the pedal, the brakes will begin 'pumping up' until the brakes are totally locked.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I need to order another booster bracket for the 66 I just got. I am going to leave it drum drum for a now but need to split the brakes and go to a duel master cylinder. Whats the best combo of booster and master? Was looking at just putting the complete 67 setup on it.
Thanks
Jimmy

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Since you are staying drum/drum, yes you will want to use a '67-'70 booster and master cylinder, or any of the compatable boosters along with the '70 Buick Estate wagon master cylinder. Have you seen Sharps40 thread on his power brake upgrade? I'll send you a PM with payment info.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Thanks for the info and payment made on the bracket. If I go this route and decide to go with front disc would a master cylinder and proportioning valve swap be all that needed? I have a bad habit of not leaving well enough alone.
Thanks
Jimmy

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

If you think you may go with discs later, I would go with any one of the compatable boosters and the '70 Buick Estate wagon master cylinder (A1 Cardone #10-1363), rather than the '67-'70 booster and master. The reason being is that the '67-'70 booster has the long intermediate pushrod for a deep bore master cylinder. The majority of the disc brake master cylinders have the shallow bore. The Buick master is for drum/drum brakes but is a shallow bore master.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Thanks for the info. That is what I will do.

Hi, I'm a new member to the forum. I have a 1965 chevy truck that is mostly stock but I would like to make some upgrades. I have seen your Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket and would be interested in purchasing one. How would I go about buying one and what booster master cylinder combination would you recommend? Thanks!

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

What booster and master depends on what braking system you have. Is it drum/drum or disc/drum or disc/disc? There is a short list of compatable boosters in post#1 and a more complete list in post #183 on page 8.

I'll send you a PM with purchase details.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Hey,

I just put up a post on a problem I am having mounting my booster to the firewall. Looks like this will solve that pronto. Please take a look and let me know if it is the fix.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

i am working on my 65 C10 and having difficulty with CPP Brake Booster install. I think your bracket will help. I sent you a PM detailing the issue and posted pictures on my build page

Sure hope you can help. NHR3

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

This link is awesome!! I am definitely going to be going this route once I get my bracket and disc swap parts all collected. I hate having to lift my leg up off of the seat to push the brake pedal. PM sent on the bracket for use with an NV3500.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I finally have my power brakes installed. I went with the power brake booster from a 90 Astro Van P/N 54-71220 and the Master Cylinder from a 70 Buick Estate Wagon P/N 13-1063. Captainfab bracket was great (just as advertised)! I've attached a picture for reference. I do have a question though. My brake pedal doesn't seem to engage until it's near the floor, is this normal? I would have expected it to engage sooner.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Thanks for posting a pic of your installation.....looks good.

As for your low pedal, there are a couple things to try. One is to adjust your pedal to booster pushrod a little longer. Another is to verify that the master cylinder you got does actually have the shallow bore in the back of the piston.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Mock up pics of the booster bracket, booster, and master cylinder in the dropbox link below. I will be pulling everything back apart for paint and will get some more finish pics then. This is a GREAT piece that is a perfect fit for the truck.

Small install hint, sometimes, the pedal assembly is torqued up and the holes do not properly align with the firewall holes. Loosen the pedal assembly from the column mount under the dash and it will allow you to move those into the correct position for the 4 bolts to line up.

Thanks for the link to the pics and the compliment :)

What booster and master are you using?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

That's an OEM 71 booster and master cylinder from Oreilly

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I have 2 of these '63-'66 booster brackets that I had zinc plated. The price is the same as the powder coated version which is $61.50 plus $11.65 for shipping.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Do you still have the zinc coated brackets? If not do you still have any brackets for 63-66.
Thanks

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Yes I do have one zinc plated booster bracket left.

The parts that I make are not a limited run of parts, they are always available. I make them on a one going basis. Although the zinc plated booster brackets don't seem to be a big seller, so I may not have any more done.
