Found a very cool, well made frame mount brake bracket
Gents,
Tomsclassic on ebay has apparently found a box of old hardware they haven't produced in years, and they're up on ebay. These are 55-59 frame mount brake booster brackets that use the stock pedal location. They are very heavy duty! I picked one up for my hydroboost brake setup I'm working on. Only caveat is they come with no instructions and Auto City has no advice on installation. It closely resembles a bracket I've seen DIY on the forum here. There is a bracket that lines up with the stock pedal and appears to extend/lower the mounting point for the rod... not sure why it was included, but someone must've felt it was necessary. I think it would certainly allow you to chop the height of the pedal, which makes this bracket even more valuable ! LINK TO THE BRACKET ON EBAY

Well designed, pretty self explanatory even without directions. I like it!

Here is a picture of the bracket. I can take measurements from mine if anyone needs them for a DIY.

flatout-engineering.com sells that bracket setup as an accessory to their corvette suspension setups for our trucks. I have one that I bought from them with the master cylinder, etc.

I haven't seen just the bracket for sale on their website..and I'm glad I didn't because the ebay one I found is on clearance!

I also know you can just use the old master cylinder to locate the pedal as well, in case thats easier. I tossed mine awhile ago so that wasn't an option.
