Prick at the performance shop told me direct fit for my 72 chevelle. The rods too short no clevis. And wrong master cylinder push rod. I hate little shops that do anything to make a sale
You did a great job of engineering this universal brake booster to fit! You should be a car mechanic, if you aren’t already! Only a couple of things... I would have just like to have know, what it was you were adapting this to... an old mid-60s Mercury or Ford I think... Year? Also, would have help to see the pedal and rod. Just something to consider for another vid. The car looked not THAT old... new enough that I would have thoughts parts would still be available by some places... maybe in the U.S.? But maybe like you say... shipping would be exorbitant, and this fix was a lot better way to go. Thanks... very interesting and good video, I like how you thought out, solved, and demonstrated the fix!.
4:32 I was about to say you should really clamp that before you cut your gut open. 4:36 There it is, hahaha. May actually use some of these ideas for my current project. Was looking into universal brake boosters and master cylinders a lot and your video came up when trying to figure out what threads the brake booster rods are. I like the adapter idea. Didn't think of that.
Cool stuff man, jusy one bit of advice... dont ruin your bits drilling into wood, move the metal off the wood so the bit doesnt hit the wood. Also get a couple C-clamps to hold your work. Cheaper than a vice. Great vid!
Thanks!
@@Wrenchlife604 i guess that was 2 bits... sry
Drilling into wood won’t damage them...
When you smoke your work like that when you're drilling you're dulling your drill bit. Cut slower and use some oil.
Where did you find a universal booster in canada, everything i see has to come from the US and the shipping is crap.
Got mine at k.m.s. if your in western cananda. Check out local hotrod shops in person. Not alot of deals to be had online nowadays
@@Wrenchlife604 I just found one at Wal-Mart for 49.99
i am doing almost the same thing ,could never bleed brakes ,no instruction at all,,i notice you have a short piece that goes into the master cylinder ,thats our problem that we didn,t get ----so you could bleed ok thanks now we have ti find that piece ---keep up the good work
gotta make shure the pushrod actualy pushes against the center of the master cylinder. if nothing is there to contact it. then it wont work
Could you tell me the mounting bracket bolt pattern measurements?
Also, where did you buy it?
Thanks
I love your videos but I wish you’d get something to steady your camera. It’s like blar witch project cam.
Will work on the camera work in the future. Thats for checking the video out 👍🤘
Where did you get the clevis adapter? Have the same booster for my 64 galaxie.
You can get it at speedway motors online. I bought mine localy at the local hot rod shop
Where did you get that adapter. Working on a 73 Monte and needed a booster. The one i ordered comes with a clevis but i need an eyelet like that.
I got it from a local hotrod shop. But speedway parts or summit will have it. Just search brake booster pushrod parts. Also i believe a company called tuff stuff makes it too
@@Wrenchlife604 ill give it a look around. So frustrating because this is the last thing I need done to be able to drive the Monte. lol I wish i would of just bought a Brakebooster for it OEM or something but ended up having to setting for a ebay part. Says it fits which is nice... We shall see what happens Friday.
4 wheel disc brake master
Oil the bit
What brake booster did you use and is it mounted to your stock pedal
It is a stock pedal but the pivot point was changed by the previous owner. The car had a older style power brake conversion done to it. The booster i used was just a universal hotrod dual diaphram booster. Think it was a 8"
Wrench life 604 ok I appreciate it. I need a booster for my Cadillac but no place has them so I will have to go universal as well. The adapter you made, the piece you put in between was what size?? Do you need to space it or was that just needed for your car??
I needed to for my car. Yours might be diffrent. Good luck and hopefully you get your booster working 👍
Wrench life 604 thank you. I will see what I can find and possibly do
