Title: Brake Booster
Post by: Rod on June 08, 2002, 09:43:39 PM
Hi everyone. Has anyone got fitting instructions or thoughts on where you place a brake booster on a FE/FC. I have access to one and don't want to drill or cut any unnecessary holes. I would like to put it in the position where it was intended to go.
Thanks in anticipation.

Rod

Hi Rod
   I installed a VB commodore dual diaphragm booster to the firewall of my FC using a bracket i made up that has the booster about 1"inch from the firewall and uses the existing master cylinder holes(looks very neat & tidy)
I know some people install HK boosters but the stock HK bracket has the booster a long way from the firewall & having remote boosters is ok but why do that when you can mount it directly to the firewall in FE/FC.
hope this helps
