Captainfab bracket and O'Reilly 10" single booster. Bracket keeps it close to the firewall and it works perfectly.

Does that mean I have to reroute my lines if I go that route with that bracket?

yes, but from the looks of your current setup, not a lot.

If you are looking for a stock replacement, you can get the master/ booster from a reg. parts store like NAPA. There is a core charge, so trade in your old ones. The rebuilt one's are quite resonable.

Ccc925 being a 72 you got front disc an rear drums right? I'm in need of replacing my booster, m/cylinder an proportion valve on my 72. Have you looked into CPP's kit that comes with it all put together including bracket? It looks nice I'm curious how good it is.... I also read a corvette booster an m/cylinder from about the same year would also work with better stopping.

Haven't checked out cpp butI looked at the wilwood ones just didn't know if I like the look .I like the stock original look so I'll probably go with a napa one so if there's any issues there just down the street.

I have replaced one from napa and it leaked. Also one from oriley s same thing. Both were "new" not reman as per the sales person. I've been looking at the cpp stock 11" booster and master replacement. Anyone use one of these.
