All too common I’m afraid. I’ve used Selleys butyl mastic on those contact areas and make sure no dirt or moisture can get in there when it’s repaired and put back together. Used the small tech screws, extra ones to ensure the apron is sealed tight against the body. Then a coat of paint or two over it all. Better late than never.

I'm happy I can move forward knowing there's no rust anywhere in the firewall now.  Sent from my CPH1725 using Tapatalk |

The ute has been on vacation for a while in a storage shed whilst other life things happening. It's finally home and time to get into it again. My old booster stuck out and looked stupid so Im trying to recess the booster right inside the firewall. So happy to be working on it again   Sent from my CPH1725 using Tapatalk |

i bought this car as a rust free (supposedly) car maybe 12 years ago .car is rust free still in common areas where they usually rust. so was just surprised to find that rusted bolt so far gone when the whole car is virtually rust free still,the rust repairs youve seen are the only bad bits in the car. im about to chop the right hand quarter panel off just to be sure |

So finally back into it with the recessed booster idea. Not sure how far I can get it in the firewall. But it will build itself. Here is today's effort.   [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200506/369b0dbc0faa1b8f0f6c Sent from my CPH1725 using Tapatalk |

Nice work. You might look at reversing the steering shaft upper joint as well to reduce any binding.

Hey Wayno nice metal work there mate to get the recess.
Can I ask if you recess so far does it effect the travel of your brake pedal, just wondering how much you have to mod inside.
