Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

[Captainfab]

Thank you much for the compliment Mr. Ed

Your brackets are a site for sore eyes. Thank you for offering these great products. I have sent you a PM to order a Booster bracket for a 67. Look forward to hearing from you.

I am going to be running your bracket with a factory auto column and the booster you specified in Post #1. Do you think the shift rod might hit in this configuration? The reason why I'm asking is that I haven't bought a booster yet. If it might hit, I'll look for a smaller booster.

On my '66 Suburban, I have a factory auto column. I am running a '72 Impala booster, and I had to trim a little off of the rod that goes down to the trans, and also I made a slight dimple in the booster for a little added clearence. I have not noticed any issues resulting from the dimple.

I don't remember for certain the diameter of the Impala booster, I will have to verify that. I believe the S10 boosters are a little smaller diameter.

The overall diameter of the '72 Impala booster on my Suburban is aprox 10.5". The '88-'98 full sized truck boosters are the same size.

Captainfab,
I'm planning to run a hydraulic clutch on my 66 K10, and I already have an 8" double diaphragm booster from CPP. Can you make one of these 63-66 brake booster adapter brackets with the back plate that will allow me to mount a clutch master cylinder similar to the way it is done on your 60-62? it looks like the 60-62 version would work with two additional holes drilled in the original master mount location. Let me know, thanks.

[Captainfab]

Yes that can be done. I have done a few in the past, but I don't currently have those parts in stock. I will need to order some parts laser cut for those, which will take about a week to get done. Let me know and I can get those ordered on Tuesday morning.

Captain,
Thanks for the confirmation that you can do the bracket. I might not be ready for it until next month. I'm planning the build right now and want to make sure i have everything covered. I will send you a PM when I am ready for it.

[Captainfab]

OK, just let me know. I think I am going to go ahead and get a couple of these cut next time I place and order in that thickness. So I should have the parts, when you decide.

Sorry, I finding this thread late, but your bracket looks so simple and slick. Why did GM make that crazy offset bracket with the linkage thingy on the factory booster setup? Were they trying to get room for V8 engine clearance or something? This looks like it will work great with my 6 cyl.

Please educate me on this point.

I don't know the exact reason behind the angled mount, but I would say it was likely for clearance for the I6 air cleaner assembly. The trucks in the '67-'72 era with the I6's and power brakes, used an offset air cleaner. If you use this booster bracket in a truck with an I6, you can not use a centered stock style air cleaner. There is plenty of room for a straight mounted booster and a big block in these trucks.

No, sorry Bud, I did not. Today was one of those going 100mph days and got very little accomplished. I will send you an email right now.
