I'm installing the booster today. The instructions mention a backing plate going between the bracket and the firewall. I didn't see one in the box. Is this necessary? Does it come in the kit??

?:?

All mine came with is the triangular shaped bracket that the booster attaches to. The bracket is attached to the firewall in the 6 bolt locations if I remember correctly. Hopefully this pic may help.

Don't think I had a backing plate either. I just mounted it to the 6 bolts in the firewall that were already there. Be sure to get the adjustment on the rod that fits into your booster adjusted correctly. If your rod is adjustable like mine. You may have to adjust it a few times to get it the way you want it. You'll love the Power Brakes. I am running Power drums and it stops 100% better. Keep us posted.



Good Luck,

I found the backing plate. It has 2 holes and is mounted to the passenger side. I'll get pics when I'm done....

Looks great. So whats the verdict? Does she stop better? Are you running drum or disc?

Well, It hasn't left the yard yet. I can tell by moving it in the driveway that it's much better.
