Delete Power Brake unit steps?

[Steve McMahan]

I would like to remove the power brake unit from my 73 Coupe (so I can put it on my 73 Vert), and was hoping to make a non power brake setup work (since it will be a roller at some point). Here is what the firewall looks like:



Those 4 studs; is there a bracket that mounts to it to allow a traditional master cylinder to mount there? Or does the four studs mean that you have to have a power booster installed? As usual, thanks for the help and education.

Any inputs from the community? I’d look the darn thing up in my assembly/parts books, but they’re in Az while I’m in Ca.

I don't personally know, but is your vert a factory manual brakes car? If so you could compare what you firewall looks like in that car. My car was a factory power brakes car, and it had the plate with four studs on it to mount the booster like your pics. I would assume there is a plate for manual brakes cars to mount the master cylinder directly to?

Both of my cars are/were power brakes. I want to remove the 100% new booster/master cyl from the coupe and bolt it on the Vert. The coupe will end up being a roller, but it would be nice if it still had breaks. The Vert came with no booster or master cyl.

The manual brake master mounted to the upper two holes in pedal support bracket. The manual brackets had a threaded insert, so you'll have to nut & bolt the master. You'll also have to add a pin for the master pushrod, as the power pedal's pin is lower on the pedal.

Does anyone have an illustration of the manual brake setup? Thank you.
