Re: 72 Suburban Build

Well I got a good start on mounting the brake setup today. I started by trimming the factory bracing out of the way so i have a flat surface to mount to. Next I trimmed up a piece of 1/4" steel to weld in there. This gives me a good base to weld to and strengthens the firewall. Finally, I tacked the assembly up there to see where I was at. I have been having a tough time trying to find out how far it needs to be from the firewall to clear everything so i figured, what the hell, just tack it up there and see and go from there. It looks like I need to move it out about 5/8" to be able to get the booster in there. Tomorrow I'll re-measure everything, make some mounting brackets so it can bolt in and then finish welding it all up. If any of you guys have opinions, PLEASE SHARE THEM!! I won't be offended. This is the first time I've done anything like this so its all uncharted territory.
