Moving on, we must be able to stop. I had a spare brake assembly that I stole a linkage from to help mate old to new. I cut off the new rod and welded the old threaded rod to it. Then I threaded the cutoff - half on the old threaded rod, half on the new shaft that was a tiny bit smaller diameter. This was my reinforcing sleeve over my welded rods. Then I had to make the center hole much bigger and relocate the holes for the studs on the new booster to fit inside the cab. I took out the studs on the 72 brake mount and later drilled it out to line up with the new studs.
