T56 clutch master bracket for GM A body

[csouth]

I'm trying ot plan out my T56 swap and I've looked on several forums and in threads trying to find a good clutch master cylinder bracket for a GM A body. It seems if I had a Camaro, the world would be my oyster. Since I have hydroboost, but I'm considering all options. If you respond, please let me know what master you're using in your setup. Thanks in advance

I found the same problem you have. I went with a Hydromax from American Powertrain. It has an adjustable bracket that you mount to the firewall so you can get the angles right on the pushrod. I'm still waiting on my hydroboost to show up, but I will probably have to modify the firewall to be able to mount the clutch MC.

McLeod has a kit for A bodies, but it's a bit on the expensive side

I looked at your post earlier today in that thread. My only concern with that bracket is my hydroboost already has a 1" thick billet mounting plate.

That's not the most attractive bracket, it looks like it could work. I see a couple of people have tweaked the ebay bracket, I may try this route to see if I can get the angle right. Its only $30.

F body brackets do not line up with stock firewall penetrations... If you are looking for a steel bracket they are pretty easy to make... Just figure out your pedal ratio and line up the shaft...

I have several brake hangers.. They all have different length bolts... I had this bracket on with a hydraboost, till I ditched that..

I actually prefer the look of billet aluminum and the wilwood master vs. the broke flat metal...

I was actually meaning to say the Hydromax bracket is not the most attractive solution. The one you have is VERY nice. The only one I saw on their site says it's for F body too. I would have more of a problem tweaking a $130 bracket if needed than I would one for $30. I'm also not sure of how any of the billet brackets out there will fit with my billet hydroboost mounting plate. If seen where some people have tweaked the ATS style bracket, so really its the only cheap solution. The only fullproof solution has to be the McLeod bracket though. It should line up every time.
