    Are you using power brake peddles or manual brake peddles?

    Well, it is mounted. Worked out pretty good. Despite what it looks like, the shock tower brace does not touch the master cylinder and you can get the top off. Only thing left to do is make the adapter to hook the rod to the brake pedal. I plan on cutting off the end of the maverick rod so the brake light switch will work as original, then weld it to an adapter that will screw on the booster rod. When it is all done I will write a how to article so you dont make all the mistakes I did. If someone has an automatic with column shift, let me know how far from the firewall the shift arm is when it is in park. I think it might work with a thicker spacer.

    You're still going to use the bungee cords for looks, right?

    You got my interest on this, Dennis. My '73 has factory power brakes and I plan to change it to a four-speed.
