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

[nbrfd007]

I have the same clutch setup as Mojakeke on a 62 GMC Suburban 4X4. Did you find a way to make it work on this setup?
Thanks,
Tim

I haven't heard back from Mojakeke on how the install went. If he doesn't chime in here you might send him a PM. The cab that I used for the R&D was a Chevy cab, so that must be where the difference lies. I would think that all you would need to do is convert to a Chevy style return spring.

Captain Fab,
Have you had any feed back from Mojakeke or others with the different spring location. Looking to go ahead for this with mine, keeping the drum brakes.
Thanks,

No, no feedback. No one with a 4x4 has bought one. I don't know if that big return spring is a secondary spring that can be eliminated, or not. If it is the only return spring, maybe that one can be removed and replaced with one similar to a 2wd cab. In reading 56taskforce's post above, he thinks that the standoff will bolt on, on top of the spring bracket. If that will indeed work, the standoff will need to be shortened an amount equal to the thickness of the spring bracket.

Which would be the best master cylinder and booster to use with the factory drum brakes?
Thanks,

You can use any of the compatable boosters listed. Speaking of which, I will be updating the list in the near future. Keep in mind that you can also use a hydroboost unit with the addition of my hydroboost mounting plate. As for a master cylinder, you will want to use one for a '67-'70 truck with power brakes. Of course those will be a dual reservoir master, so you will need to split the lines. You will also need the proportioning or metering valve for the drum/ drum '67-'70 truck.

The re-design of this kit has been complete, and it seems to be working well. Unfortunately due to the extra cost involved in the new design I need to raise the price on this kit by $20.00. So now the total is $199.50 plus the flat rate shipping cost of $14.00. I don't have any good installed pics of the new design yet. I will try and get some soon and post them here.

Here are a few pics of the re-design of this kit. The new linkage assembly allows full stroke of the pedal, with plently of adjustment to fine tune it to your liking. Also there is more clearance to the wiring plug on the firewall next to the clutch master cylinder.
