Power Brake/Booster - vertical/frame/firewall

[roger55]

My first experience with POL was with some engine mounts. The experience was so bad, I decided I'd never deal with them again.

I have the CPP firewall master and pedal assembly. It does takes some mods to make it work well but overall I am very happy with it and would buy it again.

See posts #242, 279 and 416 in my build thread for the modification details with photos.

Thanks - I had seen your build thread post 242 - just not the others regarding brake light and also the column mount issues.

Wonder if the floor mount is more bolt in ......... actually need to go see which of these units does have a brake light switch.

I've heard that the frame mounted setup gives you a high pedal too. Don't know what it would take to correct that. Correcting the pedal height on the firewall model is pretty easy as you could see in my photos. As long as you can weld of course.

Here's a photo of how my firewall turned out after finishing off nicely and after paint. I don't have any issue with flex at all.

Wow that sure did turn out good.

I assume the brake light switch is a simple open circuit switch that once you depress the brakes it contacts/closes circuits and the lights engage.
2 wire setup etc ?

Going with an aftermarket factory rewire - no idea yet how they actually hook up to the brake lights - eg connectors or just raw wire. Probably the later.

I used the AAW Classic Update wiring harness.
I had to buy that switch though. It did not come with the harness.
It's a N/C switch so when the brake pedal is up, the connection to the brake light circuit is open/broken. When the brake pedal is pressed, the switch goes to it's normal closed position and the completes the circuit. The rubber stop I put there protects the switch from getting slammed and keeps the noise down when the pedal is released abruptly.
