Re: John Lee's Power Drum Brake Conversion
To the meat and taters...I contacted CaptainFab on the board and acquired one of his lovely brackets for power brake installation. Nothing like having an easy button. Tryin to keep this truck close to original but highway ready with the minimum number of new holes...cause down the line when I'm dead someone will thank the Truck gods that the PO didn't hack too much on a mostly original and fine condition rig.
The bracket came in. I ordered it in raw steel. And, it is perfect......no need to pierce the firewall with additional holes that some poor dude will just have to fill later when trying to bring this old boy back to Concours status in 2093.
All the parts, and some advice on parts is included below, bolted up easy...a simple sleeve to connect to the booster....and the only mod is to the booster and brake push rod....neither are difficult and neither should cause a future Concours minded restorer to have heart palpitations.
So, all I can say is, get it on the board. I'll be back to Captainfab in the future for whatever he makes that I might need.
