Brake pedal problem

[pro1955]

I installed a booster off an Chevy Citation on to my 1955 Chev car, the rod didn't match the pedal. I cut the booster side rod in half, used the pedal side rod threaded both rod ends and used a constant threaded nut between the newly threaded rods. It was strong and adjustable worked great. I was running 4 wheel disk, the booster was fine but the brake bias was off to the front, adj. proportioning valve fixed that. Hope this helps.

This sounds like the solution but use one end from your booster rod, other from the rod that came with the brake pedal. Different diameters? Cut and thread the brake pedal rod and get a threaded coupling that fits it. Weld the coupling to the booster rod with room for adjustment. Thread A into B and you are set. Here is a photo of what I did, same principal but I made my coupling out of conduit and a nut. The other photo shows the treaded rod piece in the booster I was mating to, pedal.

My dia. 3/8 were the same it was easy to do. Your idea will work great.
