'67-'72 Power Brake Booster Bracket With Hydraulic Clutch Conversion - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Captainfab** · 03-21-2018, 10:51 PM

A recommendation for what, a hydraulic throw out bearing? I don't remember what all of my customers have used with the early transmissions, but it seems to me that someone recently was running a Muncie with a McLeod hydraulic throw out bearing. I have no personal experience with any of them.

Are there anymore of these kits available. I'm still a couple weeks out but, this would be a great swap from my mechanical linkage on my 72 K5. Captainfab please send me a PM if you could. Thanks

**Captainfab** · 08-25-2018, 11:59 PM

I fabricate all of my products everyday including these booster brackets with the hydraulic clutch conversion. I will send you a PM.

Great product, thank you! Easy to install and works perfect!

**Captainfab** · 10-25-2018, 11:48 PM

Thanks for the compliment and the purchase

What is the price of just a base plate setup without the clutch master and booster relocation? With the booster relocation, do the brake lines need to be rebent or replaced? I have a 71 and I read the holes do not line up so I am trying to get something as bolt-in as possible to save time on my swap. Thanks.

**Captainfab** · 12-18-2018, 12:44 AM

If you delete the booster mounts and the clutch master the cost would be $147.50 plus $13.65 for shipping.

In moving the master cylinder much closer to the firewall, I would imagine that the brake lines will need to be bent or replaced. That is correct, the '71-'72 boosters are not compatible with any of my booster brackets without modifying the booster bracket. This is why they are not on the list of compatible boosters.

The Wilwood clutch masters went up in price again, so I had to raise my price on this conversion.

**clay68c10** · 01-18-2019, 09:54 AM

Lucked out and found a hydroboost (77 G30), and it bolts right up to your bracket.
Score!!

gringoloco · 02-18-2019, 11:38 AM

Got mine installed, took a little more trimming of the firewall bracing than anticipated, but went together and works butter smooth...

I'm surprised you had to trim. Did you order the right year? I guess that bracing is different 67-72 some years.

Yeah, he warned me I might have to due the moving of the fuse box somewhere during the model years.

**Captainfab** · 02-19-2019, 01:32 AM

The '69-'72 cab is slightly different than the '67-'68 cab which requires moving the clutch master. Consequently there is some inside brace trimming required on the '69-'72 cab

gringoloco · 03-21-2019, 11:01 PM

Hey captain, the action of the linkage forces the piston to go in at a bit of an upward angle. I’ve been reading on these Wilwood girling style masters and they seem to not like being off center. Any thoughts? Anyone else had issues? I’m concerned with sealing and longevity of the part due to the misalignment.

Thanks -Chris

**Captainfab** · 03-22-2019, 12:31 AM

I am aware of the slight angle issue of the clutch master pushrod. In a perfect world, it should be perfectly straight, but this isn't always possible, especially with a retrofit situation and to be cost effective. Of the couple hundred of these conversions that I have made and sold, I have had only one report of a clutch master failure.

gringoloco · 03-22-2019, 10:07 AM

Thanks for the quick reply. We’ll run with it and see what happens

70inbville · 05-21-2019, 07:41 AM

Can this kit be retrofitted to a Squarebody or do you make one for a Squarebody?
