Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

John,

The hydroboost adapter and the booster bracket worked out perfectly. Got them installed this wkend. Thanks again!

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Thanks for the compliment :)

That looks good. From what I read in your build thread, this hydroboost/master cylinder came from the 2004 2500 Silverado?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

They hydroboost/mc did come from a 2004 Silverado 2500. Everything fit well and with the hood latched, there's roughly 1/4"-1/2" of clearance from the top of the MC to the bottom of the hood. Great product. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to do the swap.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I have the hydroboost nut sockets back in stock again.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

This is coming up soon for my 68 C20. Will be looking soon to order some brackets. Going to the yard today to look for hydroboost unit and hoses. And an S10 speedo for that mod. Nice product for us. Thanks. Jim

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Are you going to want a bare steel booster bracket and hydroboost plate, or the satin black version? Let me know when you're ready.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Don't know. But thanks for asking so quick. Went and looked at 1 yard in the rain yesterday. None on sight but possibly getting F250 Diesel in on Monday. Gotta check back then. Just to clarify, I'm using a lokar column shift cable bracket in my engine bay. It clears my standard power booster on my C20. Would this bracket still clear the Lokar adapter. Any experience with this before? I'll go back and look at your picks in the post and also look at your measurements of your bracket and see myself also. Thanks again. Jim

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I have no experience with the Lokar column shift cable, just with stock shift linkage. The interference issue with the factory column shift linkage is not with the mounting bracket, but with the vacuum booster. Since you are going with the hydroboost, there should not be an issue with any interference. Then again this is based on the factory shift linkage.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

What does it cost total for the Hydroboost plate and bracket in the powder coated black including shipping etc? I have a 97 Astro hydro boost going in a 71 C10.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

The total cost on those parts with shipping will be $99.65. Let me know.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Just to be clear can I use the hydroboost with the factory reservoir and the disc disc proportioning valve i got from CPP?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Yes you can.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Sorry maybe I'm confusing myself but I mean the reservoir that came with the hydro boost (GM plastic one) and then the disc/disc proportioning valve I'm currently using with the original setup.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Since you're running 4 wheel discs, I would use the correct disc/disc master cylinder with the Astro hydroboost.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I want the plastic one for it. Any suggestions on what one to look for?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I guess what size bore I need to match. Ay suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Would a trailblazer ss disc disc work? here is a link

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

as an alternative maybe the 05 GTO disc / disc with a 1.125 bore

Opinions on this type?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I really don't have much experience with those aluminum and plastic masters. That one for the GTO will definitely not work. The Trailblazer one might. I think I would lean towards one for a '96-'99 truck with 4 wheel discs. Of course selecting a master cylinder will depend on just what calipers you are running.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I'm running the CPP brake kit which is Escalade fronts and crown vic rears I think. I guess I should look for and ecalade / tahoe disc disc master. If any one has advice or suggestions I'm all ears.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Now I have found a 08 and a 2012 Master cylinder from a Silverado HD running 4 wheel disc brakes. would that work and two i would still need to run my CPP porportioning valve as well right? Here is my issue I just want to confirm that I'm understanding this correctly and that it will bolt to the master cylinder. The 2012 is a hydroboost set up as well. Anyways any help would be appreciated/

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Hey Capt'n i have a 78 chev mini home hydro that'll work right it was a 1 ton looks like it would ?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I do not know if either of those masters will bolt up to your '97 Astro hydroboost. As I said earlier, I do not have much experience with the newer masters as what you are looking for. Some of the newer masters bolt up differently. If you want to go with a master cylinder as new as one of those, I would suggest purchasing the master and hydroboost as a unit. If your CPP proportioning valve is for a disc/disc system, then yes you should run that one.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Yes, that will work. Once you remove the factory mounting plate, the hydroboost units themselves are all the same. That master cylinder might be a little large if you are going to run it on a C10. I would just bolt on an appropriate C10 master cylinder.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Sir,
I would like to order a bracket and plate. I have a Cardone 52-7251 Remanufactured Hydroboost. Looks like its from a '90 or '91 Astro Van. Please pm for details. Thank you.

Pm coming your way.....:)

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

hey CaptainFab, I'm using your Impala disc brake conversion for the rear and was really impressed with the workmanship...I need both the hydroboost plate and the firewall mounting bracket for a 72 cab, raw steel is fine...

PM me with the $$$...thanks

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

PM sent :)

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Hi captainfab I sent you a PM.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I replied to your PM :)

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I might be doing some business soon. Once I get my donor brake parts I will be in touch as soon as I figure things out. The donor is a 83 P30 hydro boost for my 68 C30.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

I can set you up Alan. Just let me know when you're ready.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Got my Brake booster adapter bracket and Hydroboost mounting plate yesterday. Ordered Sunday, on my doorstep early Wednesday, that's fast.
They're all painted up and ready to mount today, if I can brave the cold. Extremely nice qualtiy, and the best customer service of any transactions I have ever done. Cannot recommend your stuff highly enough.
Maybe you should start having it stamped or engraved like Porterbuilt does. Just a thought. I'd have Captainfab stuff on my PS adapter, 14 bolt saddles, and brake booster mounts. Thanks again.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Got it all mounted, pushrod shortened and welded up, brake lines connected. Next is to run the pressure and return lines, but it was too cold to continue, so I called it a day. Sorry for the blurry cell phone pic. Your bracket and HB mounting plate sure did make this a whole lot easier. Thanks again.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Looks good :thumbs:

Thanks for posting a pic.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

That looks really slick. Good work.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

So to clarify I need a booster braket for 67-72, and a hydroboost adaptor?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

If you are working on a '67-'72, then yes you will need either booster bracket that I make for the '67-'72's and this hydroboost mounting plate. Then everything will bolt up without drilling any more holes in your firewall.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Good Morning
A little feedback, it sits on a 64 Sub 4x4.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
 

Due to it being a PITA to get the socket back and the fact that the last guy refuses to return it, I have changed how I 'rent' the hydroboost nut socket. Basically what I am doing now is you will have to purchase the socket for $52.50 plus shipping and if you wish to return it to me after you are done I will refund $26.25 to you. Sorry to be that way, but I have lost too much time and money with the way I was doing it before.
