i just spent a couple hours in the sweltering heat pulling the power brake booster out of an `89 Mustang to use in a conversion on the vert.
glass all over the ground, little or no room to get tools in, the last bolt i could only get my ratchet to click once on the backswing! and all the crap in the motor compartment! phew, next time i`m just gonna pay someone else to do it!

Post some pictures, please, when you're done! I need to do something with my fastback as the original type power booster won't fit in the tight quarters. I'm looking for something smaller, but effective.

I feel your pain. I thought I was going to remove the power booster from a 77 Monarch. The two bottom bolts (under the dash) were just reachable. The top two were impossible. I decided manual brakes were much less work than retreiving that booster.

Glad to hear you conquered it. Enjoy.

You could call Mark Jefferies at Trans Am racing. That's what I did. Works great. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss 400 bucks goodbye.

Yeah, that was one of my original (costly) options. I was hoping that JMC's dual master would work since it doesn't need a booster, but there isn't enough clearance with my Cobra valve covers. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif Guess I'll give TransAm a call. Thanks!

I've seen the same thing on our favorite auction site go for about $275 from another company. I've thought about seriously doing the same!

I've been looking at them on that site as well. Know of anyone that has used one?

...and Trans Am Racing also has a setup that will work in conjunction with the hydraulic clutch setup too. Just in case you need one.

Those look like a pretty good setup. Probably a bit pricey though?
