Re: Firewall Mounted Boosters...

does it space your brake really far away from your accelerator all the way over there? looks like mine is going to be in the same general area to...

Re: Firewall Mounted Boosters...

I put mine under the floor similar to street rod set ups and used the stock pedal in stock location. My build thread shows it all including new trap door to access the MC cap. My reason was to remove one less thing to have in the way when changing plugs, timing, etc.

Re: Firewall Mounted Boosters...

Re: Firewall Mounted Boosters...

Robin58 do you by chance know what kind of brake booster that is? I really like that idea. Does anyone know how this is going interfere with a vintage air system, or any other possible conflicts it may have underneath the dash? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
