Hydroboost Mounting Plates

[AngryPirate]

I got this mounting plate and I am currently in the process of installing it.

Let me first say, holy smokes the build quality of this kit is fantastic.

Now, I have 1998 Chevy Astro van hydroboost and my questions are:

1. what are people using for a 'boot' where the hydroboost goes into the firewall to create a seal from water, exhaust, etc.?

2. Am I correct in assuming the pushrod (pedal to hydroboost) that comes with the hydroboost is too short and some customization is required?

3. My remanufactured hydroboost from RockAuto did not include a pushrod (hydroboost to master cylinder), retainer and spring set. I believe that since it's assumed that this is for replacement for an existing Astro van hydroboost, the existing pushrod, retainer, sprint is meant to be reused. Does anyone have a source for these missing pieces?


Thanks for any help folks.
