59 Chevy Frame mount for brake booster
Hello everyone. I'm in desperate need of help in replacing the mount for my brake booster. As I was taking the vehicle apart I removed and tossed the factory bracket. Can anyone provide the dimensions of the plate & where the holes are? It would be greatly appreciated. If someone has one to purchase that would be great too.
Thanks, Greg |

That pic is the factory bracket, stock MC bolts to it. Most aftermarket kits bolt to it too.

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware that is the factory bracket & that's the part I tossed when tearing the vehicle down. I need to know the dimensions of the factory plate & bolt holes to make a replacement or if someone has a wrecked frame I can get that specific part from.
Thanks, Greg |

Re: 59 Chevy Frame mount for brake booster
OK, just wanted to clarify you were not searching for something else. I will see if I can get to mine to measure it, maybe someone else with a bare frame will chime in....

Re: 59 Chevy Frame mount for brake booster
Went out and measured mine as best I could. Could not get to the top and assume you can figure out the rivet holes. I did not pull a bolt, but think they are 7/16 -16 (standard thread), could not tell if the metal is threaded or a bolt is welded on the back side.

Re: 59 Chevy Frame mount for brake booster
I might have one of those if the guy hasn't hauled off the old frame yet. I'll try to get hold of him today and see. Those rivets are a real PITA to get out. Why did you pull yours off?

Re: 59 Chevy Frame mount for brake booster
ChuckDriver,
Thanks for the awesome measurements. When I originally tore the truck apart I was gonna go with a firewall mount brake booster so silly me I tore the old one off & threw it away. Then I had the frame powder coated & had ordered a frame mount booster kit. I just like the clean firewall look better I think. I really appreciate the help..

If you need a booster, I have one that I was going to list in the sale portion of the site.
