Thanx! Now, that is one slick way to put a booster in! I'm curious, how does it actually work with a bend like that? Would you have any of the measurements/designs/drawings from the mount that you made? I do have an MR2 booster that I had purchased and thought I was going to abandon it and go with just the MC.On my 65 I fabed up a short spacer to mount a small Geo Metro brake booster away from the firewall so I didn’t have to cut the firewall bracket...

This worked great for a few years. Once I swapped in the 3FE there was no room for the booster as it was mounted. So I stole the design of the early bronco and fabricated a new bracket with a change of direction.

I know guys that have run discs without a booster but I prefer the feel of boosted brakes.
Cool project. I like your tranny hump fabrication. Looking forward to seeing the results.
I have thought about using a H55 cross member, but I don't plan on wheeling this thing at all. Maybe some light trails and that'd be about it. Plus those cross members are hard to come by and pricey....lol!I love any 45 build, will be following keenly. Will you run the H55 crossmember?

Dom, please post anything you have on this thread! If I can use that booster with what you did I'll be geeked!Some good info here:
Bronco brake booster link in an FJ40
I guess I need to do a separate thread.
Hijack over.

Here’s a few shots of the rear.Can you post a picture from the rear? I've been looking at this option for a fuel tank and there aren't a lot of good write ups on it.
Interested in what you come up with for a skid plate too.
