Brake Move

I would like to move my master Cylinder and booster off the fire wall of our Henry J. What options do I have besides the under the floor kit. I may do away with the power unit. I dont think the motor will make enough vacuum.:confused:

If the engine will not make enough vacuum for a booster, you can always go the hydroboost route.

As far as placement of master/booster. Does the car you are building happen to have some space available under the toe boards? Like this.

Very Interesting! The Henry J may, because its going to be more or less a gasser, let me steal some room. I was plannini fender well headers but its an idea Thanks :whacked:

you can mount it under the dash facing TOWARD the driver. A simple pivoting pedal lever can also increase the force of the pedal and eliminate the need for a booster.

It may be a little tricky to fill, but how often do you really need to???every couple of years???

the second generation dodge vans has an offset powerbrake set up where the booster & the m/s set is at a 90* angle coming out of the firewall, this would help you if ya wanted to put it under the dash like madgrinder said..........joe

'60's T-birds used a firewall-mounted cylinder with a remote booster that could be mounted anywhere. Just a thought. The master cylinder could go under the floor, the booster in the trunk, under the floor, whatever.

check out the PowerMaster system as used on buick grand nationals. I used them on our Cobray-C3's as a remote mounted system. Use a standard 7/8 bore master cylinder on the firewall and run to a hidden or convienantly mounted slave cylinder to activate the powermaster unit. You can also seperate motor and accumulator for ease of install, run a remote resivour for fluid. sounds confusing but maybe just my ability to explain a photo is worth ????

Here is remote PowerMaster photo I could not load on prior post for an unknown reason but here it is or is in my photo gallery if it does not attach again.
