Blacktop Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Many thanks 😁 Great news, I managed to score a hydroboost from a '98 mustang from a friend. It will need a new mounting plate fabricating to match the vac booster mounting holes. It will also need the actuating rod shortening to match my master cylinder. Will need to get new hoses and modify the brake pedal pin etc. But good score I think👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a spare mc and checked its fitment, it fitted straight on! I need to flip the mounting plate 90 degrees and almost certain I'll need to redrill it or drill holes to suit in the firewall.

I have the hydroboost unit to hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktop Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Let me know if you need measurements. I have the hydroboost unit to hand. Could you measure the mounting plate bolt pattern? I think on my bullnose the bolt pattern is equal but on this mustang one, there is one bolt offset. I will measure the mounting plate I have and post them here for reference. Hopefully I can just redrill this plate and reuse it rather than have to fabricate a whole new plate. Also, when removing the mounting nut, I managed to break it😕 so if anyone knows this thread size so I can get a new nut I would very much appreciate it. I had a quick look and it appears to be M41 x 1.6 pitch which is a weird size to me🤔 Many thanks, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is: 1. Check out the '84 dealer book for grille options 2. Measure the bolt pattern on the hydroboost 3. Take a nut off Big Blue's master and booster and check sizing. But, was it master/booster or booster/firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Ok, the list of pre-work things is growing - after finishing this cuppa and having another. I think it is: 1.

But, was it master/booster or booster/firewall? Let's see if this answers the question. Both the studs for the master cylinder/hydroboost interface and the firewall/hydroboost interface are 3/8-16. The measurements are "raw", meaning that they may 2.400" and 3.200", but they are what I got by measuring outside/outside of the studs with my dial calipers and subtracting the measured diameter of a stud.

This is the thread size I need to source a new nut. I measure it to M41 x 1.6 pitch but I'm assuming its metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
