what about using a 4" oval pipe for low clearance?

[Damkid]

Never thought of oval pipe to be honest, but I honestly don't wanna redo all the piping again lol

I'm thinking to unbolt the brake booster and ad, say washers to the one side to angle the M/C away from the turbo, this will ad clearance for a multi-layered heat shield, that's the start of my idea but I'm sure I'll change the idea a bit before I'm done lol

[FestYboy]

don't even think about doing that, you'll torque the booster rod and you'll be putting accute stresses on the master piston assembly. taking the master off center of the booster is a BIG no no.

instead, take the filter off, pull the turbo forward and remote mount the filter via PVC or something cheap. that then allows more room for better shielding of the MC.

I'm sure there's room for some give, I know how M/C's work, I'm not talking about turning it on a 45 degree angle or anything like that, and id angle the master and booster as one part together and of course I will double check my work to make sure my brakes are reliable and won't give me troubles

[philip1]

Could I suggest trying a 90* mount for the master. An adapter bracket could be made easily with a pivot like you used for your clutch.

[Damkid]

That thought has crossed my mind as well but I've actually come up with a different idea hence why I said.........

that's the start of my idea but I'm sure I'll change the idea a bit before I'm done lol

:lol: my second idea I think will be a trouble free issue, Im just going to double check a few things before I give details

[PhoenixSHO]

The oval stuff seems like a nice idea but , when you will arrive at the bends - that must be a PITA.

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

they make oval bends

[sasquatch]

to pay for them, you bend over....

[Damkid]

Ok so i've decided to drill new mounting holes for the brake booster, i'm going to move it 1-2" towards the engine, i will also modify the brake pedal so the push rod stays paralell to the master to not cause any problems

So tonight i took my booster off but didn't have time to start drilling new holes



There's not a lot of room to move it over, but it's something




I'm debating on removing the bracket on the inside as well to modify it so i can move the mounting holes further over, but it's going to be a pain in the butt to do

[Christ]

Booster delete. MUCH less work.

[Damkid]

Nah, i like power brakes

[sasquatch]

just gear down...

[FB71]

Chris, just an opinion; it would be much simpler and safer to move the turbo 2 inches forward...

[hofficergrover]

If delete the booster i think might not really notice the difference cuz so light.
My dad had a old ford truck that had manual brakes and i couldn't tell the difference from mine that has power brakes but that's me.
