Best performance/value hydroboost system?

[quic]

I had to go back to my pictures to remember how I did. I think I took the factory Bronco pushrod and cut it down then ran a die over it. Same for the hydroboost pushrod. Then I conneted them with a coupler and a nut to lock it in place. Wildhorses has this handy item

Thanks thats great info and that adjustable rod could certainly come in handy

I went with this bracket made by CB member catfan. No cutting, threading any rods.

Did you use an adjustable proportioning valve on these? or did you use the factory one?

Astro booster and MC, S-10 reservoir, custom plate and rod in stock position.

I'm liking this set up. Thinking of ordering one to get my hb some clearance from the valve cover

I’m got this part the other day you have to cut it to length
Catfan says it should be 3.2” long, I’ve cut mine to 2.95 and I still have an 1/8” to go according to the directions

here are some pics, the red things are 1/8 glass shims that slide in smoothly

Are shims used for fitment so you can cut rod to correct length?

Yes, the directions say to cut the rod so that the two surfaces meet, I have to cut another 1/8 to make that happen.
I just stuck the shims in to hold the master cylinder parallel for the photo
