    2015 Brake Booster/Master cylinder in a 66

    I'm playing around with adapting a 2015 booster and master cylinder over to my 66. It's a 1" master bore master cylinder and its super short. The set up clears the shock tower by a mile. Tons of room. That part is good. I'm wondering if I'm going to run into a bunch of other issues doing this though. Any thoughts?

    The input shaft is really short.  Also, getting the proper pedal ratio will be difficult without making a much longer pedal that mounts a lot higher.  You will need to duplicate the dimensions of the 2015 pedal.  Not doing so will make the brakes ultrasensitive.
    Those boosters are huge!  But my 2015 GT has really nice pedal feel.  The pedal never moves more than 1" total.  If you can make it work with pedal travel like that, you might have a great braking system.  I prefer a smaller booster.

    Post some pics!!!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Can't seem to post a pic unless its gigantic. How do you post a regular size pic?

    I would love to post some pics but I keep getting your verification code is invalid or something. Is there a trick to this?
