Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Captain,
I purchased your adapter bracket a couple of years ago, and just recently got the truck out and running a bit...

Problem is, my clutch seems out of adjustment.

The clutch pedal starts about a 1" below the level of the brake pedal, but I have to almost get it entirely to the floor before the throwout bearing engages fully...and then when I am entirely to the floor with the pedal, sometimes the clutch just doesn't seem to be fully engaged. Its not that the truck is moving, but it does sound like there is still a bit of engagement.

Assume I am starting a square one and would like to have the clutch fully engage and disengage with as little travle of the pedal as possible, how would you suggest I go about "fine tuning" the problem. Would you start from the slave and move back, or start at the pedal and move to the slave.

Thank you,
Tom

PS - Great product! Was the perfect solution to what I wanted to do...

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Captain. Got the package today. Very impressed! you are quite a craftsman. High quality piece! Won't be getting to this project for a couple month, but I can't wait to see it all put together.

I still need to decide which master and booster I'm going to use as well as find the smaller return spring for the clutch pedal. Has anyone Been able to find one of these after market or OEM replacement? I have been to 3 yards that have early 60's trucks on hand and no luck. The springs are all missing. I'm wondering if I can't just find a spring somewhere that I can make work for this application.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Thanks for the compliment

I'll try and remember to look at the shop tomorrow and see if I might have a spring.

Captain,

Just thought I would post in case anyone else was looking, but I actually found the smaller return spring on ebay for less than 10 bucks shipped. There are many sellers that offer this spring.

Here is one link. It is a bit more expensive than the one I purchased tho.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-1966-Ch...c8ca24&vxp=mtr

I pulled the larger spring and installed with one similar to this. It may not in fact be the factory specs, but it works. It is a significantly lighter spring than the large one I removed. Made the pedal a lot lighter.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Thanks for posting the link to the spring.

Sorry, I've just been very busy and somewhat forgot to look for this spring for you. I'm glad you found one.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Hi Captain.
Newbie here. I have a 1962 Canadian GMC half ton. I am just getting started with putting disc brakes in the front. I would like to order one of your brackets, powder coated black.

My plan is to order the 6 lug disc brake conversion kit from Performance on Line, which I believe is based on the 73 to 87 years. Have you heard good or bad things about this kit? I got a booster from a 1997 Chev 1500, and am hopefully getting a master cylinder out of a 73 to 87. Do you know if that cylinder will fit with that booster? Does that sound like a good plan?

As for the bore size of the clutch slave, I don't know how to tell. I took some pictures on the weekend, but don't know how to post them. The engine is a 235 6 cylinder, and a three on the tree.

Any comments on my plan would be most welcome. How do I go about ordering the bracket from you?

Thanks.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Sorry but I do not know anything about that kit from POL. I am not in the business of building trucks for others. There are members here on the forum that I am sure have purchased that kit that can give their review of the parts. Just post up a thread asking that question in the '60-'66 message forum.

The '97 1500 booster is one of the many many compatible brake boosters, so yes that will work as well as bolting up a '73-'87 master cylinder.

The stock slave cylinder requires a clutch master with a 1" bore. I believe I have one of those in stock, but I will have to verify that tomorrow when I get to my shop.

I will send you a PM with ordering and payment info.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

Good morning Captain Fab. I have a couple of questions for you;

1. Has anyone ever had the threaded rod bend and break that goes between the clutch pedal eyelet and the cantilever piece?
2. Has anyone ever had the lower bolt that goes through the master cylinder, firewall, and into the aluminum threaded bracket break?
3. Has anyone ever had the master cylinder rod bend?

The reason I ask is that all three of these have happened to me. I replaced the firewall bolt once and the threaded rod once already, and they have both bent and broken again. The master cylinder is the same bore as the slave cylinder, and the slave cylinder came as a hydraulic clutch kit from novak (http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/clutch/kit_hcrc.htm). Any insight as to the issues at hand?

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

I have not heard of any of those things happening to any of my customers. There should not be that much pressure on those parts. Do you have one of my kits?

How do I order one?

This bracket is fabricated from laser cut 10ga. mild steel and fits 1960-62 Chevy and 1960-63 GMC pickups, Suburban and Panels and is 100% bolt on using holes already in your firewall. The booster side of the bracket has a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" hole pattern. Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups from 1988 to at least 1998, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1992 to at least 1998. You can also find compatable boosters on early to mid 70's Impalas and Caprices. Of course you will have to join the booster pushrod to your stock MC pushrod that attaches to your brake pedal. This can be done by either threading both ends and using a coupling nut, or by just welding them together once you determine the correct length.

For the hydraulic clutch master, this is setup to use a readily available Wilwood master cylinder. To install the master cylinder you will have to drill (2) 11/32" holes for the mounting bolts, and a 1 1/2" hole (with a hole saw) to accomodate the center of the master cylinder. The supplied standoff simply bolts to your brake pedal using an existing hole. Then the pushrod and heim joint screw onto the clutch master pushrod on one end and to bolts to the standoff on the other end.


This adapter plate kit contains the adapter plate with mounting hardware, the standoff, pushrod and heim joint with related hardware and the Wilwood master cylinder. The cost on this is $207.50 plus the flat rate shipping cost of $16.90. As with my other brake booster brackets, you can add powder coating for an additional $8.50. Satin black is a normally stocked color, but other colors are available.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

If i use a 88-98 booster will a 73-87 master cylinder work right and bolt to the booster?

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

I have not heard of anyone with an issue like that. How many miles do you have on it? How long ago did you buy the kit from me?

4-6 weeks ago, around 300 miles. Iwas still getting grinding and difficulty shifting into 1st and reverse so I adjusted the linkage out someand it snapped the first time I tried to push the clutch in.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

I'll have to check and see what the warranty is on those clutch masters.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

What year is your GMC? Does it have a hydraulic clutch? Are you keeping the manual trans and hydraulic clutch? I assume it still has all 4 drum brakes? I'm not sure if a '80's Class B motorhome master will work with a drum/drum brake system.

It is a 64-66 cab w/ an older 61 perhaps frame 2 ton, so yes 4 drum brakes.

Front suspension is a torsion bar set up. motor home is a good idea, I suppose I can look at what a newer 2 on has for a braking system also.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

If the cab originally had a hydraulic clutch, then this bracket and kit is what you will need. If it did not originally have a hydraulic clutch, you will need the conversion kit that I make for the '63-'66's

Another thought is, you may be able to use a master for a '67-'72? C60. Those should be a dual reservoir and designed for drum/drum brakes.
