frame mounted brake booster master cylinder

[stunna]

Does anyone have pictures of a brake booster/master cylinder that is frame mounted? or does anyone know of someone that sells some sort of kit for this.

I was gonna try to run this, but I am not sure if I can fit my 2" exhaust between this and the tranny? Any thoughts? I would love to do this and completely shave the firewall, but not if I have to sacrifice my exhaust...........................Bamm!

SSBC makes one as well.

Keep in mind that alot of those under floor units are designed for the old 30s thru 50s cars/trucks..and a lot of them had panels that you could remove on the floor to get access to the brake stuff...how are you gonna check and fill your fluids?

I would look for the units that have the remote reservoir...

I just figured I would do it the same way, Fab a small door to access it. If I could figure out a way to route the exhaust that wouldn't run it right beside the booster/master cylinder, i wouldn't hesitate to do this. Any idea's? ..........................Bamm!

i dont see that there'd be a problem with running one guys with model a's and t's as well as 30's-40's cars have been running them for 75years or so with dual exhausts and those frames are a heck of alot narrower than the 67-72chevy trucks as far as access there's hundreds of different premade trapdoors available in steel stainless steel aluminum weld in screw in rivit in and glue in// about the only extra thing you need in these underfloor systems are the residual valves// speedway motors is a great source for this type of brake equipment and thier catalogue has good illustrations and explanations of whats required

Here's a pic I've had of one that was started, but as you can see there is no exhaust run yet.

If you were to run a 2" exhaust in between the brake booster/MC setup and the transmission, do you think that would be too much heat around the brakes?

You could put the exhaust outside the frame if you're running manifolds.

you could make up a heat shield from state of the art place like www.thermotec.com // a friend of mine built a car with an 800+hp nascar cup engine and had no problems with heat issues

Sorry, I have already bought new jetcoated 3/4 length headers and a pair of Summit Stainless Steel mufflers......................Bamm!
