Quick question regarding CPP brake booster
 
Question- On the CPP brake booster is there a return spring? The brakes work great but the brake pedal just seems to stay semi-engaged. I am thinking either im missing a return spring or maybe the vacuum supply is not strong enough to pull the pedal back out. Maybe I need a vacuum canister? Do you have a vacuum canister?

Funny you should ask. I was having the same problem with mine. Two weeks ago I added a spring to help it return, It works great now. I also had a problem with the adjustment on the small rod that pushes the master cylinder in. It was causing the brakes to drag and I made an adjustment to it and it's working well now.

thats pretty much exactly where I just mounted mine- on a side note- there should be an actual mounting point for that brake switch any reason you mounted it where you did ?

I mounted under the cab to keep it off the fire wall. I also made the switch adjustable by cutting the arm in half and drilling a hole then bolting them together.
