Brake Booster too good for itΓÇÖs home!

Post by mickphatmac »

Used...
Just the very end of the brake booster is hitting on the inner fender well.
ItΓÇÖs keeping the brake booster bracket from being snug to the firewall by about a quarter of an inch on the bottom.

Issue? Non-Issue?

Should I just break out the hammer and create enough room on the corner of the inner fender well?

IΓÇÖd probably just throw a couple of washers between the bracket and firewall to clock it away from the fender well before I try the hammer.

The fender skirt in later model have a slight relief for the booster. Just gently give it a small relief I used a large round of aluminum and a rubber mallet.

Smack the fender well to make room for it. ItΓÇÖll cover the dent and youΓÇÖll never see it. If you want to space it out with washers, make sure itΓÇÖll clear the hood. I had to space mine down toward the fender (dented) to clear my fiberglass hood. Nobody but me knows thereΓÇÖs a hulk dent below the booster. Shhhhhh, donΓÇÖt tell...
