Picture Request - brake booster -> pedal
adding a brake booster. The push rod / plunger that goes through the firewall to the pedal itself is different than the one that comes with my master cylinder.
my rod is 6-8" with a circle at the end that has a bolt go through it and the brake pedal. seems all the brake boosters have a stubby 3-4" rod without a hole for a bolt. I'm sure there's a bracket or adapter i'm not aware of. curious if anyone with a brake booster could show me a picture of how it connects to their pedal. Or is it a different pedal? I found this thread from a few years ago, but not sure what that adapter is or where to snag one. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=200437 |

Re: Picture Request - brake booster -> pedal
1st pic is where the rod connects to an adapter, which is mounted around the middle og the pedal shaft. the left side of the bracket hit a bumper to keep tge pedal up. 2nd pic is the upper mount on the pedal shaft. The rod coming off the brake pedal shaft is bolted to a support by the bolt in tge 3rd pic.

Re: Picture Request - brake booster -> pedal
Thanks for the pictures, guys. Much appreciated.
It was too dark by the time i got home and not worth teh hassle of taking a light out to it (cant drive it, i ripped hte driveshaft out to replace the carrier bearing). Going by memory, i think i might have to make a mount or adapter for it. It seems your plungers/rods are different than mine, or you have an adapter i don't have or havent found. I ordered this one with that plunger (notice it says picture may not be exact model) http://www.drivewire.com/includes/se...tlIGJvb3N0ZXIu but, i ended up getting one shipped to me that looks like this: http://www.drivewire.com/includes/se...Ugd2FycmFudHku a bit annoyed since i went out of my way to find a brake booster with that specific rod/plunger and i get the same one i had found elsewhere. oh well, will just have to find a way to make it work. i didn't properly try yet, but maybe i can remove the plunger from teh brake booster and recycle the plunger i have from the master cylinder. |

Re: Picture Request - brake booster -> pedal
The best I recall......Manual brakes and power brakes not only use different plungers, the plungers are set a different angles for power vs manual. Manual brake plungers are at a straight line between the master cylinder and the pedal, power setups have the plunger going upward to the booster.
