ok so i have a 82 gsl... im wanting to get rid of the power brake booster. does any1 know of a non-power brake master cyl. that will bolt into place.. or am i going to have to fab something.. thanks for you help

 

you could rig up a with a stick to rub on the tires, just lean back and give er a yank to slow down. and some horses to go with your carriage....hahaha j/k

 

I'm curious as to why you want to get rid of the brake booster in the first place.

Other than that, I've really got no idea as to how you would go about doing it.

 

why would you do this whats the reason im just wondering ahh you beat me ^^^

to drop some more weight off the car....and the brake booster is bad. cazing a very bad vac leak...

 

butt brakes save your life for that spirited driving lol
but im still intreged to see what the results are and what pros and cons are created

 

more or less all im doing is converting my power brakes to manual brakes..its more or less a drag car full caged slicks 1 seat..and everything else that comes with a drag car ...... no i dont have the power brakes hooked up now caz of the bad vac leak..........it is a commen thing done with mustangs and other cars. they sell a after market manual master cyl. its also light weight....but it not bolt on and its alot of money..............i wasint sure if i could use a master cyl off of a rx2 or rx3 or something like that

 

Nothing will be a bolt in.

In addition to making an adapter plate, you'll need to redrill the brake pedal for more leverage, and alter the pedal stop in case you need more travel.

I'm looking into converting to manual brakes myself, power brakes aren't very consistent. Plus, if I could elminate the booster, it would greatly simplify that independent-runner manifold I have planned...

 

yay i get to by 1 of thos really nice light weight big money master cyl.
