Thread: Anyone have their MC/Booster under the dash?

Tweet

Why not have the filler's mounted with access through the cowl vent. I think I saw this on one of Ken Thurm's cars?

No cowl vent on my car. The plan is to mount the remote resevoir(s) under the hood if it will fit. Another problem is the lip at top of firewall for the hood seal- it would have to extend far enough forward to be able to get the lid off.
I've found several- some use 2 resevoirs & I did find one that only uses one. That one uses a raised billet lid that fits over the existing dual Vette MC & seals w/ an o-ring. There's now a plenum area above the 2 resevoirs in the MC- the lid has 2 side connections- one is for the line to remote tank- the other is to a bleeder to remove all the air out of the lid. I like this one because I don't need to buy a bunch of new stuff. Down side is when you run low- you don't know which resevoir is being filled by the remote resevoir.
Big deal- I can't see in the top of MC anyway.
This would also work great for an under floor install.

Just to clarify- I have the Kugel unit in the car now. Just hard to get to top of MC to check or bleed brakes. Yea- I'm still working on the brakes- back ones now (in my limited spare time)

Again- NO FRIGGIN DIMENTIONS!!!!

Are there any manufacturers of these 90 deg. under dash units other than Kugel ?. Wanting to purchase one but would like to consider other options if available.

Cheers Tony.

Happy hunting!

70s Dodge vans have this set up. I picked up a pedal assembly for my 37 ford from a pick a part for 15.00. I had to do some modification and use some longer pedals from a jeep, but did it all for less than 50.00. Much cheaper than the 600.00 for a krugel. Thought about it for my roadster but it already had floor mount on the frame.

Hi Streetrod. You have any pics of this setup? I'm curious to see how you installed it in your 37. Thanks.

Its hard to see what I had done. Mine has more modification than what you would do because I added a clutch master. I lengthened the entire assembly for this reason. You can see where I added some flat stock across the bottom of the assembly to lengthen it. The original bracket is where you see the diagonal weld across the bottom. I also added a piece where the booster mounts (ugly) because the dodge booster had a different mounting configuration. I also used different pedals because I needed the clutch pedal you wouldnt need to do that if your running brake only, however you may need to lengthen the brake pedal. As I remember the original pedal was a little short because it is for a van. It honestly took me an afternoon to do once I had everything. I have a plasma cutter so that helps out. I uses a couple rod ends and all thread to make an adjustable connection for pedal connection. If you can pick one of these up froma junk yard, its obvious where Krugel came up with the design. Let me know if you have any other questions.
