I’d suggest an FJ60 booster and MC.

I've been hoping to avoid the booster because I decided to not cut the firewall. Hopefully that wasn't a bad decision.
There is a spacer that is available to keep one from cutting the firewall rib. The only issue is that it places the MC fairly close to the carb.

I have a spare 60 series MC and a couple of used boosters, so easy enough to try. Do you know where to find that spacer?
Thank you!

I am at work, but looking at pictures, I think the oil filter canister may kill the ease of doing the booster.

I have a Wilwood adjustable prop valve in there now too
This should help

I have to run home today and grab my trailer for work, so I will get a quick look at it.

I took a quick look. The oil canister is definitely in the way. That said, it isn't a terrible thing to move it. I like that it is on there. The fact that new filters are available and inexpensive from Mr T is totally cool.
It there any chance of a non boosted master cyl working with disc brakes? I don't mind having to put in the effort, but I need to be able to get max braking too.

Hi Pat, were you able to find an early shifting instructions plaque for Bell the 45 ? I think I have one in my stash. Let me know…

I still haven't finished up the last few things on Bell, and the season is almost over. I need to do the gaskets on the drivers side, the running board on the drivers side, exhaust, and still figure out what to do about tail lights.
I suppose they will be winter projects now. Life and work just got too busy- and other Cruisers breaking down.
I did take him for an open exhaust run to the road and back. One whole mile trip!

I’ll get it out to you. Glad to help.

Big shout out to @cppilot for the gear shifting instructions. He even sent the bolts!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I have fallen behind on how your progress has been going. I still have a few firewall adapters to run the 80 master cylinder without a booster. Somewhere I have pictures

I have one of your adapters on there with a non-abs 80 master (no booster). I need to just give that a go for now and see how I like it. I have FJ-60 calipers/discs on the front on a 1970 FJ-55 front housing with 3.70 thirds from a 60 series (getting away from the ball and claw housing and getting fine spline 3rds). Serious Frankenstein business going on. Trying to upgrade items while staying all Toyota.
