Hydroboost Mounting Plates

[BBPanel]

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

I haven't a clue to be honest. I replied to the guy Capitanfab said had one but I haven't heard anything back, right now I am planning on using the rivited bracket off my old booster and a hydroboost mounting plate. I will then cut the end off the HB pedal rod, thread both halves and use a adjustable type linkage in between. Possibly off something like a turn buckle, but add jam nuts. I still have to figure out the *actual* angle of the rod because I know the HB units generally connect a little higher on the pedal. I was really hoping to find just a HB brake pedal but haven't had any luck yet.

Sorry but I'm not understanding what you mean by 'pedal rod displacement distance'? As for connecting the hydroboost pushrod to the brake pedal, you will probably want something in the neighborhood of a 4:1 ratio.

When you apply the brakes how far does the HB pedal rod move before it bottoms out - or will the m/c bottom out first?

I do not have that answer. I have not installed a hydroboost yet and I do not have an operational one to measure. I am not in the business of working on cars and trucks for others and no time for any of my own with working 80 hrs a week.
