thanks guys for the input.
.....with the booster pushrod you have to remove the head off it and cut a slot in it, so it sits flush/locktite it in.
am also told that the hole in the rod which attaches to the brake pedal needs to be welded up & relocated - can anyone validate this?

vlad...........yeah it is. she will kill my ass if i come home with another motor.

I have a feling with the vs booster your pedal attachment will be right.
With VT theres some mods to be done there.

VT booster using VS bracket will need the hole moved in the rod, but if you were to use a new bracket made specifically to suit then you just need to drill out the original hole to the correct size.

I tried modifying a VS booster bracket and if you ask me it's a dodgy way to go. The other really important thing is to ditch the factory support bracket that bolt onto the front of the MC to strut tower and make a decent one from steel or alloy bar/plate because the firewall has a fair amount of flex in it and the factory support bracket really doesn't do much to stop it.

Upgrading that strut tower bracket is the way to go. I made one out of heavier steel as well.
I had a new bracket folded up to mount the booster to tbe firewall. Was tricky to work out.

There is a guy in NZ who supplies ready made brackets, very well made too. I have used a couple of em now, makes it a bolt on job with no fiddling other than drilling out the hole.

[Dylan]

Do you have a link to that?

[immortality]

They turn up on trademe occasionally but I don't see any listings today unfortunately.

a good bit of triangulation in that strut tower bracket would go a long way to be honest, although the gauge of it doesnt help neither.
i guess for the avg mum and dad shopping run its enough, but, for those of us who use their brakes in a more passionate way an upgrade has merit

ps bursons sell the v6 sump gasket as a rubber item. they dont stock the cork one any more. its a permaseal jobby and was 27 bucks.

cork is not what you want, so rubber it is!
