It was really pretty easy work, except for getting this old spine under the dash a couple times. The lines bend pretty easy. I think they are a copper/steel alloy. I just made a couple close 90's then bent the rest by hand. Grinding the holes bigger for the bolt pattern was the biggest pain. I started with a drill but went to the shop for my die grinder. Then it was cake. I used the same clevis and with the new threaded rod coming out of the booster I now have a higher pedal. Of course I had to take my wife to lunch so she would help me bleed the system.
Total working time was about 4-5 hours..
I wasn't expecting the increase in braking to be as good as it turned out.
Six new nuts came with the booster also.
The hose shop and NAPA are close to my house. Used Amazon for the Master and direct to Speedway. Parts came in about 3-4 days.
