Well it took me long enough but i finally started doin my hydroboost conversion...I had a buddy of mine fab up a bracket to make so you wouldnt have to shorten the brake pedal rod making the astrovan unit a true bolt on...Its made using 1/4 inch mild steel all tig welded..
Its a lil overkill but my friend wants to make sure it will hold up and i dont blame him considering the speeds our cars are capable of..I always thought this was an awesome conversion but i didnt like the idea of cutting and welding the brake pedal rod..Besides the fact that if you are ever on the road away from home and the hydroboost fails you can get one anywhere...
The only thing i had to do was grind the face of the retaining nut slightly so that the snap ring would fit..
