I don't see why not. I know a guy that used one off of a older berreta because the booster is smaller so I would say yes.

It may not be a slam dunk direct shot, but I'm sure with some mods/fabbing, you could do it.
This may alter the feel of the pedal too.
Why not go to the parts store and get a new one?

The brackets and booster are one piece. Yes, it will work with minor modification. You'll have to drill a couple holes and for the rod I ended up using a coupler nut to connect the rod. With a little imagination it will work.
