Hydroboost Mounting Plates

If you were to bolt the hydroboost mounting plate directly to the firewall, you will have to drill 4 new bolt holes in the firewall and who knows where those will end up on the inside. And then you will have to hog out the center hole in your firewall to accommodate the large nut that secures the hydroboost unit to the mounting plate. Then the hydroboost pushrod will be at a slight angle when moving the attachment point on the brake pedal down 1". This creates a side loading effect and can cause premature wear on the hydroboost unit. So you see there are good reasons for how I design my products, not just to try and sell more products.

Thanks for the explanation of why is it best to use the booster bracket.

It all makes sense when you see the details, plus the less work I need to do the better to make it work.
