Manual Brakes to power brakes conversion ????
« on: March 06, 2012 - 07:51:52 PM »
I have a 1970 dodge challenger and i had drums all the way around the car and manual brakes. i have converted the front drums to disc brakes and i want to put a brake booster on it also. but i am having problems with the booster bolting to the brake petal? Is there a different brake petal they used or?

if you are using a stock booster there is a special linkage to connect the booster to the pedal , it is not reproduced & can be tough to locate  . Mancini & others sell a booster that will connect directly to the pedal without the extra linkage

Try Brewer's Performance  http://www.brewersperformance.com
They sell a bunch of pedals/assemblies/etc.  Not cheap, but they might have the part you need.
