Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

[Captainfab]

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
