FJ40 booster fitting... HELP!
Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 4:21 pm
hi guys.
i have an old 73 FJ40. as standared these came with very dodgy breaks without a booster. i have brought a booster (thanks the smoo) and am trying to fit it now.
problem: in order to keep alignment with the pedal and the booster the booster fouls up against the hyd clutch MC assy, and some bulkhead ribs (which i have cut away). i was thinking of making an adaptor plate to ofset the booster away from said offending clutch parts and re attaching the coupling on the pedal to one side.
is this the usual solution? has anyone done this before (must have!)
can anyone send me pics of how they did it?
cheers guys/gals
