Hydro Boost Pics

[apache200]

thanks Ogre. i picked up my hydroboost i am going to try to build my bracket soon

the mustang mc tank has the same fittings in the mc as the mercury villager minivan with remote reservoir.
i pulled the tank off, inserted the adapter fittings and used the villager reservoir mounted on my firewall.

Can you show us a pic if you have one? Which Mustang year and model did you get the remote reservoir from?

Thanks

Here’s my set up, hydro boost from a suburban and the cover is off an older van
I put a 3/16 plate in the frame first then a made up another 3/16 plate to hold the booster
The two arms that come out are ½ x 2 flat bar
Then 3/16 gusset to tie it all together
I built my booster mount in lots of pieces so I could have some adjustability when test fitting
As for filling the reservoir or topping it up it should only be done every once in a while, any more then that I got bigger issues to deal with

this is off an 03 cobra, the cobra had a bigger motor that interfered with the vacume booster used in the gt.



from this side you can see how it bolts to the 3/8'' plate welded on the frame.




i don't have any pics of the remote reservoir, the plastic tank pulls off the mc.
there are rubber inserts that hold the tank in, these stay in the tank.


the mercury villager or nissan quest have a different mc but it has a remote reservoir and plastic inserts that go in the mustang mc.
this website shows all the parts needed from the donor vehicle, any yr 98 to 02.
46090 is the tank, 46020n is the plastic insert needed to go into the mustang mc.
i found 1/2'' teflon lined ss braided hose from a hydraulic hose supply house, it barely fit but it fit.
the hose listed for $9/ft, the counterman was a car guy who new about our shop, he sold me 8 ft for $18.
i'm sure there are other hoses that will work but my research showed that teflon was impervious to brake fluid.

the factory five guys use the same mc and hydroboost and it is located way under the fender.
i found the remote reservoir info in a factory five site.

Ogre, Kim, and Hi....what are the pedal ratios and bore diameters of the MCs on your setups? I understand that these are important factors in these setups.

[_Ogre]

i used the stock pedal ratio from 1958.
after setting up my system i realized i was only using the top 2'' of the pedal.
as i am tall with gimpy legs i cut off 3.5'' of the pedal and re-welded the pedal to the arm.
my pedal now sits lower to the floor, when i push hard it is stil a couple inches from the floor.

My pedal should have the stock ratio as it was a replacement for my year of truck.
As far as the bore diameter I haven't checked it yet. My unit came out of a 2005 chevy truck.
