Re: My 57 Pro Street

Thought I would post some updates on what I have been doing to my truck.
Pic #1 is a hydroboost unit out of an 05 chevy truck.
The next 4 pics show a bracket I made to mount the unit on the frame.
The bracket will mount just under the back of the cab witch will put the hydroboost and the master cylinder behind the cab for easy access.
I will connect it to the brake pedal with some DOM tube.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

These next 2 pics show the finished bracket and unit bolted to it.
I had to modify the mounting flange that was on the unit to work with my bracket.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

I also had to modify the push rod on the unit so it would attach to the pedal.
I cut the end off the push rod and rounded it off.
I got a 3/8x24 grade 8 bolt and some 3/8 ID DOM tube.
I cut the head off the bolt and rounded that end also.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

I welded the bolt to the end of the push rod and used the DOM tube to add strength to the new end.
