Re: Booster and master cylinder options?

I just picked up a dual 9 inch booster with a Corvette style master and proportioning valve from Tuff Stuff. I was concerned with fitment issues with the 5.3 I will be installing. I will be ditching the front drums and fabbing my own front disc conversion using 03 style dual piston calipers and 11.5 diameter rotors. If my calculations are correct, it should just clear a stock 15" rim.
If you plan on keeping the drums, then a proper master is also available.

Im looking for something smaller/cleaner, or even just not there to begin with.

Re: Booster and master cylinder options?

I used a a forum members (CaptainFab) bracket for my hydraboost swap. It can also be used for a smaller booster and it pulls the whole assembly tighter to the firewall.
