Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Sorry, I shouldn't expect you to be a mind reader! 91-96 B/D body booster. I have a 94 Cadillac parts car. I'm going to stick with drum/drum on the 65 C10, but will do a dual res master, so I was wondering if that booster from the 94 Fleetwood will work with a drum/drum master.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I don't have any experience with that particular booster, but I would try the Buick master I mentioned above. That booster should have the short intermediate pushrod.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I have a 66 C10 and just bought a 72 C10 roller/donor that is PS/PB. Will this adapter fit with the factory 72 C10 booster?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

It is close. You will have to slightly elongate the booster mounting holes in the bracket.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Captainfab I'm ready to place my order for the booster bracket.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

yo capt, I have a question... I bought a cpp 9" booster and resevoir for my 66 and I'm not diggin the style/design of their mount. It looks like it would put a lot of stress on the firewall since there is no reinforcement between the bracket where it mounts. Do you have a mount that would replace their bracket with yours? Mine is a c6 zo6 disc brake setup so i went with the 9" kit for disc front and rear

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

I only make one brake booster bracket for the '63-'66's. The booster hole pattern is slightly different than the studs on the aftermarket boosters. I believe the one dimension is off by about 1/8". A slight elongation of the holes in the booster bracket will remedy the situation.

Got my P/B adapter and P/S plate on Friday. Quality pieces, great packaging! Thanks CaptainFab!

Cheers!

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Thanks for the compliment and the purchase :D

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Captain Fab,
One more question... Hopefully. I mounted up the booster (91 chevy truck) and went to mate the master cylinder from the 1970 buick estate wagon and I noticed the push rod from the brake booster to the mater cylinder seemed short? Did I get the wrong master cylinder or do I need to modify the push rod on the brake booster?


By the way, the bracket is excellent, quality craftsmanship all the way around!

Thanks,

Matt

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Well, I have not actually bought one of the '70 Buick masters yet, I have just been going on what another member said is the correct application. That master cylinder is supposed to have the shallow bore in the piston and work with a drum/drum brake system. So you are saying that it has the deep bore in the back of the piston? Let me see if I can get one of those master cylinders tomorrow, and see what it looks like. Worst case, you would need a longer intermediate pushrod.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

CAPTFAB, Please send me some payment options in a message please... I will be needing one of those brackets also.

Thanks!

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Got my booster, master cylinder and lines installed this weekend.

91 Chevy truck booster

70 Buick Estate wagon master cylinder

New intermediate push rod between booster and master cylinder

New adapter between brake pedal and booster.

Thanks for the great adapter, it made the swap very easy!

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Looks good Matt :thumbs:

I finally got around to getting a Buick Estate wagon master cylinder. The one I got has the shallow bore in the back of the piston, which should work with most boosters made after '70-'71. Did you find a source for brand new intermediate pushrods, or did you find a used one? I remember seeing them somewhere, but now I can't find them.....new that is.

Have you had a chance to drive your truck with power brakes yet?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Have not driven it yet. Still a few more projects before it is road worthy. I realized I bought the deep bore master, so I could have exchanged it for a shallow bore, but it was quicker to just make a longer intermediate shaft.

Thanks again for all the support. :hot:

Matt

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Thanks for the compliments Eddy :)

I appreciate the purchase.

Looking forward to seeing your installed pics.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

This looks like a cleaner mounting setup than my stock power "sideways" bracket.

I was going to use a universal 8" dual diaphragm booster and dual drum/drum master (which i see will work with your bracket too if i elongate 2 holes) on my stock bracket, but i like this better, and someone could use my stock power brake parts.

Is there any issue putting this on a truck that was power brakes already?

Also, for those that don't know, grainger carries threaded rod in stronger alloys than the grade 2 hardware store garbage, and in fine thread, or LH thread too. You could just be a coupler nut and a heim joint and some rod, then remove your old pushrod entirely, no cutting and welding, other than cutting the rod to length.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

There should not be an issue with installing this booster bracket on your truck. The factory power brakes with the wedge, had one extra hole in the firewall, which my booster bracket will cover.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 

Here is a fellow member's ingenious way to connect a new brake booster to your brake pedal.
