Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
Looks Great! I like the look of the flat plate directly on the firewall instead of the use of the adaptor bracket. Any more pictures? What did you do to the pedal and linkage to make the connection?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
So will this bracket work with a 2000 GMC 2500 hydroboost unit?
A friend is swapping a 6.0 and 4l80 out of a 2000 GMC 2500 into his 1971 El Camino and the GMC has hydro boost. I am trying to help him figure out if we can make it work. Thanks, Andy

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
All GM hydroboost units that I have seen are all the same once you remove the factory mounting bracket. So yes, this hydroboost mounting plate will work on a 2000 model year hydroboost once the factory bracket is removed. As for mounting it to the '71 El Camino firewall, you will either have to open up the center hole and drill holes for the mounting plate, or fabricate a booster bracket similar to what I make for the '60-'72 trucks.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
What determines the HB pedal rod displacement distance? Does the m/c dictate that or does the HB pedal rod have its own unique travel length? Would seem like the m/c should be the determining factor - I'm retrofitting a HB and need to determine what my pedal travel should/needs to be. -Bob

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
Captainfab.
Here are the pictures of my hydroboost from mcgaughys. I also included pictures of my 64 c10 fire wall. Do I buy your bracket, unbolt the bracket on my hydroboost, bolt your bracket on, then mount it to the fire wall? Or do I just use the bracket that came with my hydroboost and re drill it to match the fire wall? I just installed your PS adapter plate and worked out perfect. Thank you.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
The picture you posted isn't a hydroboost, that is power brakes via vacuum. You simply bolt that to the firewall as you have it. Hydroboost uses hydraulic pressure via the power steering pump, not vacuum.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
This is part of the front disc brake kit I bought. The master cylinder bolts to it. The holes do not line up with the fire wall and I prefer not to drill the fire wall. I would rather re drill the bracket to fit the holes on the fire wall.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
As stated by by doublebeetx, that is a vacuum booster noot a hydroboost. To mount that vacuum booster to your firewall you need one of my booster brackets shown in this fro sale thread.
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=339081 However I do not know what the mounting stud pattern is on that booster. You will have to check that and see if it is the same as the holes in my booster brackets.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
I should have known that you (captainfab) has already built a adapter plate for the hydro boost conversion. I just did this swap on my dodge cummings truck which will later become a 65 chevy cab on the dodge frame.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
Thanks for the good words.
Just to be clear. What you bought is not a hydroboost mounting plate. You decided you did not want one. What you bought is a '67-'72 booster bracket.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
Thanks for posting pics of your installation.....looks good. Would you mind posting some info on the hydroboost and master you purchased? I know that the proportioning valve is the Wilwood 260-11179.

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates
Thanks... yeah it was all bought as a Wilwood kit on ebay. The plate that comes on it lined right up with the mounting bracket I got from you. Worked like a dream. Didn't have to do anything but bolt it all up.
