VT brake booster in VS

[cooperthatche]

Hey guys, have an auto 1997 vs commodore and the brake booster is stuffed, my question is will a VT brake booster fit without major modifications. TIA

 

[Immortality]

No (easy way).

Options are,

a) Either the old bracket needs to be modified (cutting and welding).

or

B) Preferably a new bracket is used to mount the VT type booster into a VS.

I think Sydney Race Brakes used to sell a bracket but not sure if those are available any more.

No. Either the old bracket needs to be modified (cutting and welding) or preferably a new bracket it is used to mount the VT type booster into a VS.

Not sure what mean?
1. No you can't fit a vt brake booster to a vs at all?
Or
2. You can fit a vt brake booster to a vs, but you have to adapt the old bracket by either cutting & welding it to the correct shape or buying one to suit if they are still available?

Re-formatted my answer, maybe it's clearer?

No.
If it can't be done, there usually is no options.

Read it again, the answer is yes it can be done.

Well the OP asked if there was a easy way to which the answer is no. Does that mean it's not possible? certainly not but there is no easy way without either modifying a original part of purchasing a new part.

With a new bracket the install is actually fairly easy.

There was a guy in NZ making custom brackets that look very similar to what you can just see in that link. I have a couple of those here. It gets the spacing correct and the angle so the reservoir sits right.

It's a shame that guy doesn't sell the bracket by itself.
