Fitting a 7 inch dual booster while keeping hydraulic ckutch master

Post by Brett027 »

I have a 7inch dual booster with master cylinder kit to install on EK ute. The booster has the extension piece with the rubber boot. What I would like to do is keep the pedal box as intact as possible. I have organised narrow bonnet hinges to make the space.
Can someone please post a few pics and descriptions of how they did it? I have plenty of info on options for auto set ups, but nothing at hand that shows doing it while keeping hydraulic clutch.
Thanks

I will be refitting mine in the next day or 2 , have a look at the pic of the pedal box in the rattler build thread that I posted a couple of days ago, it might help ??
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

This pic- I extended the side of the bracket to pick up the outer mounting holes and hole sawed the guts out to allow the rubber bellows to fit. The clevis screwed straight on to the pushrod and picks up the stock hole , I can take more pics later if required

Hi,

I took a lot from ‘Brodie’s EK’ thread when I did mine.
Worked very well
Think Blacky Is on the same path

His brake setup is exactly the same as what I have to install, so this makes it soooo easy now. Thanks Blackdog for thinking of this build and thanks Harv for finding it for me. Happy chapee😀 Progress will be posted in Project2.
