ID '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch

[marhil61]

Thanks for the reply. Would I be able to tell the bore size externally or would I have to remove thr trans.

[Captainfab]

No need to remove the trans. All you need to do is remove the slave cylinder from the trans and get a measurement of the bore. You could also take a pic of it and post it here. If it is an original slave cylinder for the trans. I have one here that I can measure.

[marhil61]

I finally had a chance to measure the slave bore and it is a 7/8 inch bore. If there is a bettor option than this slave than I dont mind changeing it. I am looking for as complete a kit as you can provide. Also any tips on extra parts I may need and the best options on brake master cylinders. Thanks for the help.

[Captainfab]

There is no reason to change to a different clutch slave as long as that one is working OK. I just needed to know the size, so that I can provide the correct clutch master. I'll do some checking to see what else will be needed to plumb this hydro clutch setup.

What brake master cylinder to use depends on what brake system your truck has. Is it the original 4 wheel drum brakes, or are there discs on the front?

I wil be adding front disks with dropped spindels and rebuilding the rear drums soon. I'm looking at different kits now if you have any suggestions. I will be using 15" wheels. I also have to reconnect the parking brake from the drum cables to the handle in the cab because the previous owner misplaced the originals. Do you think the stock style system will work with the trans? Any thoughts on who sells the best replacement cables? Thanks again for the help.

I really don't have any experience with any of the aftermarket front disc brake conversion kits as I have never bought one. I have always used OEM or original replacement parts. There are several others here that have bought those kits though.

A typical '71-'87 truck based master cylinder should work but that ultimately will be determined by what calipers you end up with.

As for your e-brake cables, I would recommend using the original style for the '66-'72 trucks. I can't say for sure if it will work for your setup having not seen how it is isntalled. But the '66-'72 cable system typically works with most conversions that include the addition of a rear trans crossmember.

Thanks for the info. Let me know when you have a price for the clutch /brake setup that would work with my 66 swb. Thanks.

It is the same price as this kit for the '60-'62's

I'm interested in purchasing a power brake booster bracket for 60-62 with clutch. How do I contact you?

[par4tom]

Hi captain,
Thanks for a great product. The clutch booster bracket was really easy to get mounted up. The guy who put in the disc brakes was so impressed, you may have a new customer.
Great product on the mc, and brake booster kit.

I have a 1960 4x4 4 speed original also a 1998 4x4 can i put the ps and power disk brakes with your adapters from my 98 to the 60 and if not what do i need to get ken

[Captainfab]

About the only thing you can use from that '98 as far as steeing and brakes is concerned would be the brake booster and master cylinder.

For a power steeing box, you will need one from a '68-'86 K series truck, Suburban, Blazer, or a '87-'91 V series truck, Suburban or Blazer.

The only way you are going to get disc brakes on that front differential is to swap it for another differential that already has disc brakes. That will be either a Dana 44 from a '69-'80 K5 or K10 series, or Corporate 10 bolt from '80-'86 K10 series or '87-'91 V1500 series. Keep in mind that your front and rear differential need to have the same gear ratio within .01

If the engine and trans in the '98 are in good condition, those would be a nice upgrade to your truck.

Hey captain,
I'm getting ready to install the power steering plate I bought from you 6 months ago.*
I have manual transmission, will your '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch" fit my 1965 Chevy c20?
Posted via Mobile Device

[Captainfab]

This one for the '60-'62 will not quite fit on the '63-'66's. However I do have one that is specifically for converting a '63-'66 to a hydraulic clutch.

I'll send you a PM with payment details.

BTW, I did clean out my PM in box.

do you make a #2 booster and clutch kit for 67-72? thanks wayne

[Captainfab]

Sorry I do not have anything for the '67-'72's at this time. I do plan on developing one whenever I get around to putting a NV3500 in my '68. It's hard to say when that may be. Thanks for inquiring.

Here is a fellow member's ingenious way to connect a new brake booster to your brake pedal.

This bracket is fabricated from laser cut 10ga. mild steel and fits 1960-62 Chevy and 1960-63 GMC pickups, Suburban and Panels and is 100% bolt on using holes already in your firewall. The booster side of the bracket has a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" hole pattern. Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups from 1988 to at least 1998, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1992 to at least 1998. You can also find compatable boosters on early to mid 70's Impalas and Caprices. Of course you will have to join the booster pushrod to your stock MC pushrod that attaches to your brake pedal. This can be done by either threading both ends and using a coupling nut, or by just welding them together once you determine the correct length.

For the hydraulic clutch master, this is setup to use a readily available Wilwood master cylinder. To install the master cylinder you will have to drill (2) 11/32" holes for the mounting bolts, and a 1 1/2" hole (with a hole saw) to accomodate the center of the master cylinder. The supplied standoff simply bolts to your brake pedal using an existing hole. Then the pushrod and heim joint screw onto the clutch master pushrod on one end and to bolts to the standoff on the other end.


This adapter plate kit contains the adapter plate with mounting hardware, the standoff, pushrod and heim joint with related hardware and the Wilwood master cylinder. The cost on this is $199.50 plus the flat rate shipping cost of $15.70. As with my other brake booster brackets, you can add powder coating for an additional $7.50. Satin black is a normally stocked color, but other colors are available.
