first gen hydroboost bracket

[bobhamilton15090]

check out what nick has come up with. I have seen the second gen stuff and it turned out really nice. I convinced him to come to my house and measure out what is needed for the first gen. You can see the model he made here: http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=124412&highlight=hydroboost

if enough people want to get a bracket it will drive the cost down even more, so let me know what you all think

I'm not a member of Camaros.net or I would have post there. Tell him that I'm in for one. You can PM me with details and payment transaction.

As far as which version, I would want the flat version without the angle mill.

Pretty sweet. Too bad I already sent my hydroboost to hydratech and had them mod it to fit my 1st gen 'Bird.

Steve,

Hey, I replied to your PM on camaros.net. Here are those dimensions I promised you. Take a look at these and tell me what you think. In my opinion, I would make the bracket for the clutch out of 1/8" plate (I have ATS' plate for the T56 on my firewall and it is 1/8 thick) and I can easily make the counter bore a little deeper and would probably do so for all of them. If you go another 1/4" on my counterbores, you will be left with an 1/8" of aluminum.

Leave the bracket as designed. I'll either install longer studs or use 1/2 nuts depending. PM with price and we'll make arrangements for shipping and payment.

Steve,

Sounds good. I will keep you posted. Nothing is concrete yet. When it is, I will let you know payment info.

Thanks,

Is the locating "nub" in the center bore at the 9 o'clock position something that could be changed? I am going to run a Cobra H-boost unit and I think it is clocked differently.

I don't see why not. Can you verify which way the unit is clocked and where the locating pin should be?

Nick,

I didn't realize that you are doing all of this work on the bracket.

I think that a 15 degree pitch the the others are talking about would really help. I can get you pics of my entire setup.

The bracket that you sent me seems to almost make the hydroboost point down. It makes the proportioning valve and lines of a stock setup interfere with the inner fender.

I will get you pics of everything today including how I made the system work with the stock clevis.
