[canadian_ranchero]

Gary, What are gonna use for the booster, I am very interested in following this part of your project.

Lynn...you definetly want to watch what Gary comes up with, but in the meantime there's some threads from last year on the hydroboost installation. Look in the power brake booster section.
I'm also using a '02 Mustang, and the (Gasman) Gary is using an older hydroboost. Dgasman posted the info I needed to get mine installed.

That dimple in the center of your marked area can be used to locate a 2" dia hole saw. If I had a mill available when I did mine, I would have made a 1/2-3/4" aluminum spacer plate to put between the booster and the firewall. It would make fabricating a new pushrod much easier as things get tight in there.

Thanks for the info Rich. My car came with a dual master, probably from the same car the brakes came off of. Don't know what mods, if any were made to date.

Lynn....Sorry for the confusion...that post was diected to Canadian for the Hydroboost install....that hole modification is required on those. So your last post has me confused as well...I thought you were considering a hydroboost.

[lalessi1]

Rich, you are not confused. I am confusing, all the time (according to my wife),LOL. I really am thinking about the hydro-boost, I just don't know what lurks beneath what I have.....more of a comment.

I've been mulling over this brake booster thing.....my 90 T-Bird SC had hydro boost but the power came from an electric pump.  Two switches and relays controlled the thing.  Might be the way to clean up the engine bay and get great brakes at the same time?

[lalessi1]

I don't know but I thought the electric pump was for backup on hydroboost systems?

[canadian_ranchero]

i needed to repair the wiper cables anyway
