HELP PLEASE: VT Brake Conversion Issues...

[markovr]

Excellent @markovr ! Do you still make these at all?? In the process of doing this conversion(finally) on the VP and thought the bracket that needed modding was the bracket from the master/ strut tower.(Didn't think it'd be THAT easy,lol)

Yes I still do them

Yes as long as I dont have to send it to WA.....post is a bit more than 20 to there and I cant get the vs reservoir I use on the cylinder for nothing anymore but if you can use your old one or dont mind paying 10 bucks more ...the rest of the prices are the same....have just welded up 3 brackets/boosters lately because it better to do a couple at the same time as you save on the setup time if you do them together.

Do you deal through PayPal or ??

Hell- Sorry mate, Im too damn impatient and took it to a fabricator with the pics. Hopefully he does as good a job as yours look...

My setup is sitting here finished .......usually takes 2 days to get it to you if you dont do any good with faber....if you need just the bracket I can do that too.
You need to do something too with whatever bracket you use so engine noise doesnt get inside the car through the pushrod hole.
Also if you try to make a bracket so you dont have to weld hole by making it a little longer you will need to make modify the front tower bracket.
Heres a bracket unpainted on my kitchen bench

Thanks markovr , I'll definately take you up on it if he can't come through with the goods- Gave him the VP booster, the bracket AND the VX booster and master I bought off of evilbay already- I hope he looks at the pics etc. and being retired, hope he's a gun with the mig/ tig...

+1 for marks booster bracket and modified booster, cheap upgrade fits well and easy to deal with !

OK, So I got the booster back from a semi-retired guy through South Gleneld Brake Services at Marion Trade Centre (Thanks Guys!) and sent him the pics. He decided that was all too much work and turned up a heat/ impact resistant plastic ring spacer off a BA/BF booster, and machined it down to 10mm thick and drill out the VX booster bolt pattern. He then turned the rear of the booster 90' to the front 1/2 (and tested it and the master- put brake fluid soaked chux in to keep) and just simply redriled the holes in the VP bracket to suit the VX booster bolt pattern, replaced the foam insulation and put it back together! When I put it back in the VP, it fit PERFECTLY and the rod length exactly the same as the old VP. Not only that, but the VP bracket that goes on the front of the master lined up to the original bolt studs so no mods were needed whatsoever in the engine bay!
So happy with the work, I recommend ANYone in SA to go see South Glenelg Brake Service- Next to Specialty Tuning out the back shed....
