Dear Welder Series…
Just was curious if you had any pics of the part #248300 booster bracket with brake and clutch pedal kit. Looking to put a hydraulic clutch and brake setup under my floor in my 51 shoebox. I ordered my notch from you last year and loved it and just noticed this in the catalog you included.
Thanks, Nick
Dear Welder Series…
Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy New Year!
I had a question as to whether or not you have, or can come up with, a combination brake and clutch kit utilizing a GM style brake master cylinder and a Wilwood single reservoir clutch master cylinder to be installed in a T Bucket with straight frame rails.
If you do not have something already, what would be involved ($$$) in coming up with such an item, if you think you would want to mess this such a thing?
My thinking is, by utilizing a hydraulic clutch the problem with clutch linkage is done away with, and the pedal configuration can be worked out within the confines of a T Bucket interior, I think.
Thanks in advance for you time and consideration.
Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated as I am determined to have a four speed T Bucket!
Joe
Dear Joe…
Thanks for asking, Joe. Check the video almost at the bottom of http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/booster-bracket-pedal-kit/ . This bracket will take a GM master cylinder. Holes could be drilled for the Wilwood clutch master. The pedals can be traded out for the 21890 straight up brake pedal arms. It would cost a little over $200. (I’ll check this out tomorrow for you.)
I see you have your brake pedal brackets kits available, but I was curious if you had anything to serve both a hydraulic brake AND clutch pedal kit. (IE a two pedal design with opposite direction offsets etc) Do let me know if you can help! I am currently putting a 1947 Ford Truck Body on a GM 2 ton chassis with a Cummins motor and I am looking for an original looking solution to having a hydraulic clutch and hydroboost brakes.)

Dear Mike…
Please go to the catalog pdf file, http://www.welderseries.com/hardcopy/weldercat.pdf , page 21. When people buy this kit, we usually suggest substituting, in the brake pedal/master cylinder bracket kit, a brake pedal with no offset so the pedals can be offset symmetrically to clear the steering column. This reduces the price slightly.
I hope this helps. Please write again if you have other questions.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

update: We do have the brake/ clutch pedal assembly in the web store – click here, then check out the youtube video.
Dear Welder Series…
I have a 1934 Plymouth coupe I am building into a street rod. I have ECI front Granada discs on a Fat Man front end. I am running 10″ rear drums on an 8 inch Ford rear and have a 7″ single booster with a 1″ ECI master cylinder [corvette style]. I see you show a 4.5 inch pedal ratio for power brakes. Would that be what I need with a 7″ single booster also? I bought an older Master power setup that came with a 6.1 pedal. The car is small block Mopar and auto. Thanks for any help. Dave
Dear Dave…
Dave, you can use the pedal that you have. The 4.5:1 ratio works well with power brakes, but you should be o.k. with that 6:1, too. The pedal pressure will be lighter and the pedal will travel farther before the brakes actuate.
Dear Welder Series…
I’m wanting to do this as shown in your videos. I have all the parts in my shopping cart except the tube that holds the bushing. Not sure which one I should order.
Douglass
Dear Douglass…
Douglass, use #10092 tube in the pedal arm for the two #20267 bushing halves.
Dear Welder Series…
Dear Sir,
Can you tell me if I could bolt or weld on the brake/master cylinder bracket to the original unboxed 1932 ford chassis or explain me how to do without boxing the chassis ?
regards,
Filip
Dear Filip…
If you plan to leave the stock K-member in the frame and use a flathead, it might be best to leave the stock pedal in place and use a pushrod back to our master cylinder mount.
Our weld-on bracket can be bolted to an unboxed frame by making a channel to fit inside the frame rails. The channel can be made by welding 3 pieces of plate together. Drill 2 holes in the top and bottom legs of the frame rails and countersink the frame to use flat head Allen bolts. Weld the master cylinder mount to the channel.
Hi
I’ve been watching your video series…some great products you have and I’ll be getting some as I progress on a couple of projects here soon
I have a special request. I need a brake master cylinder mount for my 62 Dodge D300 Truck. It has a 4 bolt Master Cylinder that is impossible to find and not very good when you do find one.
What I need is simply a flat piece of stock, 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 with the hole for the MC bore in the center, mounting bolt holes either side of course. I’ll have to measure and drill the 4 mounting holes to bolt your flat stock to my Dodge then bolt up the 2 bolt MC to the plate.
I’m in Calgary and nobody will do it as soon as they find out it’s for brakes…liability they say…you know what I say to that.
Is this something you would be able to supply?
Thanks alot for taking the time to consider this request. I know the 4 bolt to 2 bolt adapters are available in the excited states but they are all for car apps and I do not know if the car and truck MC’s are the same, besides, I prefer to deal with Canadian companies if I can.
Pat
Dear Pat…
Pat, thanks for looking at Welder Series parts. To adapt the 2 bolt master, how about getting the booster bracket plate, http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/brake-booster-bracket-formed-24801/, and drilling your 4 mounting holes in it? The center hole and the two master cylinder mounting holes are already in the plate. They are slotted on 3-3/16 to 3-7/16″ centers. You would also have to cut off the part of the plate that extends forward.
The plate is $23.00 and $15.00 would get it delivered to your door. HST would be extra.
Dear Welder Series…
I was wondering if you have considered coming up with a dual m/c and hydraulic clutch cylinder bracket for under the floor mounting.
Thanks, Todd
Dear Todd…
Todd, we can sub manual pedals for the power booster pedals and add another plunger and rod end. We don’t sell master cylinders.
Dear Welder Series…
I think that will work! It will be going in a 36 Ford frame. I assume these are designed to be fairly universal and I will have to adapt it to fir my frame? Thanks, Todd
Dear Todd…
Todd, if your 36 Ford has the stock x-member, this will be hard to install. The pedals will want the same space as the front part of the ‘x’. If the pedals are moved ahead, the bracket will want the same space as the ‘x’.
If the ‘x’ has been removed or modified, this can work.
If you send some pics, I’ll think about ways to do it.
