Hot Deal on Hydroboost Angle Bracket

[airbur]

NO, it is the same as oem, but hydroboost can be modded to fit.

Astro Van booster bolts right up. One mod may be the shaft length.

Great pics, I'm gonna have to check mine out. How bout getting me the bolt pattern measurements?

I would have spent the extra $50 for the one on ebay. Messing with the bell crank is not worth the savings to me. I've done a few of these and there's always an issue along the way. Simplicity is worth every penny to me. That's just my experience. Not trying to discourage you. When you get it all done, you'll love it, and wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

It's the same one man. The Astro shaft always needs to be modified.

 

[garberz]

We seem to be going round and round on this. Some sort of a misunderstanding I suppose. Your under the impression that all hydro boost shafts need to be modified to fit the angle bracket. Not this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/early-bronco-hydroboost-mounting-bracket-66-77-ford-/121069207211?hash=item1c30497eab This is what I thought you were referring to. Any way, just cut the rod and thread a clevis on to it and you'll be good to go.

X2 on what Garberz said - the Ebay bracket he references does not require any mods to the Astro shaft.

X3 - Its just not worth the hassle for $40 if one is a no hassle unit. The reason you dont want to have to modify the astro shaft is if you have to replace it -- if you do have to replace one-- having to go and modify one versus just putting ti in and bolting it up is well worth the extra $40

You are correct. I was unaware that unit did not require the shaft be cut and threaded. That being said....10 seconds with an angle grinder and a few minutes threading is easily worth $50 to me. Personal preference of course.

I mocked it up today and after some cutting to get around my tall valve covers everything fits perfectly.

Looking good - any easy place to find a clevis? I'm not afraid to cut and thread either - $50 is a bit of money when you are putting together a complete Bronco on a budget...



Bawhahaha - budget? Bronco? ;D






I have to get my shit looked at......

 

[airbur]

It comes with the clevis and pin. You just have to thread the rod and screw the end on.

Oh! Done deal then!

 

[airbur]

I'm headed to Ace this morning to figure out what size threads the clevis has.

 

[airbur]

Threads are 3/8-24

So I ordered this thing and well, the HydroBoost unit isn't even CLOSE to bolting up to it-Bolt pattern is completely different. The bracket fits everything else but my HydrBoost is WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY off. I have the HydroBoost setup from a Lincoln Town Car.

Any Idea which HydroBoost unit would fit it?

 

[airbur]

It's for the Astro Van booster unit. Mine is a '95.

 

[airbur]

Mounted up....

 

[Hozr]

Where did you cut the rod before threading? How much was left sticking out?

Thanks

 

[stupidboy]

Looks good! What master cylinder is that?

 

[airbur]

I left as much rod as possible....cut it right past the ring connector.

It's the OEM Astro Van MC.

 

[igottastanger]

Awesome I'll definitely get one
