4runner brake boost and master

I found a 92 4runner booster and master.Read that it bolted right up with the only mod. being,add 1/2" spacer at firewall and booster to compensate for a longer pedal adjust bolt.You could also cut the bolt a 1/2" but for the 55's you need the 1/2" spacer to clear the lip on the firewall.The booster is a slightly larger in diameter than stock.Well it fit right in,snug to the slave cylinder.Existing brake lines went right on after I put a riser on the T at the fender.And best of all,it works killer.Lockin up the new 33's

If you don't mind me asking-What did you use for the 1/2" spacer?? Sleeves on each bolt or a little more?
That's the set up I'm going with except I have 9mm fittings ('69 rig) and will be looking to adapt as I feel the brake lines are in good shape.
Great thread!!

Hey, that pan looks nice. Is that the primer or final coat, if so, what color?

 

[SAWTOOTH 55 LC]

thank you...that is the final color and it is an olive

That's what I thought. Real close to my choice of green. I'm using gray green, 6H9. What else is getting it?

Hey, Those are nice. What are they out of and what kind of modifying did you have to do, to make them fit.

Good Job!
