I have a new Master cylinder and 8" booster I bought from Jeg's and was wondering if I can mount it with the front of the master cylinder tilting up, like you would see in an old school Camero/Chevy. Do I need to build a brakect to keep it level and cut into the fender for clearence? With the addition of the booster I will need to hack into the fender, if I can bolt it straight to the existing firewall it will be tilted up but then I do not need to hack into the fender. Help Please. Thanks, Idus25 Creepy196 03-01-2006, 05:14 PM I have searched and searched the posts for the answer to this question and to no avail.

Do a search here for "hydroboost" for a few threads... Urban Wheeler 03-01-2006, 05:20 PM If you run hydroboost it is offset a bit and will be closer to clearing the wheelwell. I don't have an 800 so I can't answer it for sure, but i did do it in my 80 and just cut the wheelwell out. idus25 03-01-2006, 05:44 PM It is a 1968 Scout 800. And to whom ever is questioning it is brakes. I am sorry for the type'o. but it sh happens. Thanks, Idus25 VancoPBS 03-02-2006, 09:25 AM Yes you can tilt the master.

Thanks, Idus25 Fab it, bolt it, cut it....just make what you buy or find fit...No two conversions will ever be the same... MochaMike 03-02-2006, 11:16 AM Stick or auto? I was looking at Dodge van in the junkyard the other day & noticed that booster/MC is rotated 45* toward the engine (parallel to the firewall). Would probably only work with an Auto though. Brandon 03-02-2006, 11:42 AM Yes you can tilt the master. Still got that 80 plate I sent to ya? I might be finally working on my rig soon and we can have a documented 80 power brake install :D VancoPBS 03-03-2006, 09:03 AM Still got that 80 plate I sent to ya?
