Jeff G 78 Posted June 7, 2015 Share #17 Posted June 7, 2015 Here's how to do it: John, I can't tell from your pic, are the clevises attached to a ring that attaches to the three strut studs, or are the clevises welded straight to the strut towers?

John Coffey Posted June 8, 2015 Share #18 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) The clevis's are welded to the strut tower and a plate on the firewall. It was all custom and is not available as a bolt-in. In general, bolt-in chassis reinforcement doesn't work that well.

Patcon Posted June 8, 2015 Share #19 Posted June 8, 2015 It also looks like the brake booster is deleted. Does that cause an issue with making brake pressure? Did you change the master cylinder to accommodate deleting the booster?

John Coffey Posted June 9, 2015 Share #20 Posted June 9, 2015 Yes, the booster is deleted using the bracket and Tilton balance bar I used to make and sell. It allows mounting of two master cylinders, one for the front system and one for the rear system. That, in conjunction with the balance bar and an adjustable prop valve for the rear system let me dial in the brake balance. Brake pedal pressure was perfect (for me).
