Did you have to make any modifications to get your Wilwood master to bolt up? Can't wait to see a video of this puppy running once your done with the upgrades.

The original hydro boost I had came out of the 2004 truck that the engine and trans came from. The booster I am using now was from an 03 I think. IIRC, after a particular year, they're essentially all the same, with metric fittings. If you need any of the part numbers for the adapters and fittings later, just let me know and I'll be happy to dig them up for you. The original leak I had was around the seal where the pushrod enters the back side of the booster. We ending up cutting the booster push rod and welding on a longer push rod with a clevis for adjustability. I think the O-rings likely got a little too hot and caused them to fail. The Wilwood that I have bolted right on with no issues. I think I would have bought the 1.125 bore like you did if I had ordered my m/c with the intentions of using power brakes. I'm pretty pumped to get this thing back on the road. After a cam/heads swap, it should be pretty healthy!
