A dual diaphragm booster is always better than a single diaphragm, but I do not know if that will solve your issue. I gather that you did not have this issue with the 15/16" bore master?

I have been chasing an underperforming braking system since installing the rotors and calipers. I started with the 15/16" master, but was getting this long travel and nearly no strong breaking. So i moved to the 1 1/8" to make up what i understood to be a volume vs pedal travel issue....but the pedal is performing the same but at a shorter travel than before.....so now ill try a dual 10.9 booster and see what happens.

I am at a loss but ill get there I guess....just keep throwong money at it right lol

Is your booster pushrod connected in the original hole in the brake pedal or did you drill a new hole 1" higher?

The original hole....was i supposed to drill the pedal itself? Wouldnt higher change it from 6:1 to 7:1...which would be bad for the travel but good for assist?

hoping to get the booster on this weekend....its a parts store Duralast 54-71046....dual 10.9", from a 93 2500 w/vacuum assist.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
I am happy to say that i have corrected the issue. The single 10.9 wasnt enough assist. the dual 10.9....worked like a champ!

now i just need to let the brakes bed in a bit and start adjusting the prop valve.

O hope this helps someone else out down the road.

It has been brought to my attention that two of my designed brake booster brackets, That I have been selling here in this forum since 2009, have been copied by Right Stuff Detailing and are being marketed as their own design. I used to sell my booster brackets to them at a wholesale cost, but they have not purchased any from me for over 4 years. Now they have stolen my design and are marketing them on Summit Racing.

https://www.summitracing.com/search/...oster-adapters

I in no way gave them permission to copy my design of brake booster brackets. This is just a dirty trick on their part. I still fabricate and sell all 34 of my products on our website. Here is a link.

https://customfab-cda.com

I am just a one man business working 80+hrs/7 days a week every week every month to try and make a living so I can pay my bills and buy food for me and my wife. I just wanted to post this on here to let everyone know that what they see on Summit's website are not my products. They are counterfeits. If any of you who support me in this and wish to let Right Stuff or Summit know your feelings, I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks
John

I just acquired a 65 C60. It has hydraulic clutch. I looked on you website but wanted to ask if this is what I need. Not sure if there are differences in c10 and c60

Thanks

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
That depends on whether your C60 came with a mechanical.clutch or a hydraulic clutch. If it has a mechanical clutch, you will want to purchase the '63-'66 booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch conversion. If it came with a hydraulic clutch from the factory, you will need the '60-'62 booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch. If you aren't sure which one you need you can always email me a few pics.

Yes you have a hydraulic clutch. You will need my '60-'62 booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch conversion. You will have to move your windshield washer reservoir somewhere else such as on the radiator support above the voltage regulator. That is where some trucks had them from the factory.
