Anybody use a street rod brake booster?
Anybody use a different brake booster/reservoir setup than the factory. I finally got the engine bay cleaned and everything routed the way I want it and I's like to avoid installing that pie plate sized booster. I was thinking of making a custom bracket and mounting one of the small streetrod boosters.
Incidently my drum master worked perfect for my disc swap, I don't know any of the basis behind the rumor about 9 pounds of "reserve line pressure", but there are at least a dozen older rods in my town running around with this exact setup. My truck stops great and coasts with no drag. Thanks in advance. swdobbs... |

I am in the process of switching out my brake setup due to putting disk brakes on the front, I got the setup from ABS. American Brake and Steering in Orange, CA . Their number is 714-771-6549. Got a 7" Booster with an aluminum Master Cylinder and all brackets plus new valve for$370 plus $25 shipping, they have 7" boosters if thats what you looking for, they may have some chrome, not sure but could call and talk to them.

It would be cool to install a behind the dash brake unit so you can hide all that stuff on the firewall of the truck. I was thinking about that myself. I'd have to look at some literature I picked up at the Nationals to see who made that setup. But otherwise, the smaller the booster, the better.
