Default LS T56 Bracket

I need the hydraulic clutch bracket that bolts behind the brake booster. My car has power front discs. Do i need to go manual to make this work? I don't see how the clutch master would fit behind the power brake booster? Anyone with a 70-72 chevelle w power brakes done this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. you can find the template in the FAQ.. it does work well.. S&P markets one.. you might find other on the internet. it is not hard to make from 1/8" or 3/16" metal.

I bolts behind the booster and against the firewall. the Master will then be below the booster and angling away from it. If you look at a 4th gen master. the firewall mounting surface is at a angle. Which is why you need the bracket.

1st page of this thread show the template.

I bought (but have not used) this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...X%3AIT&vxp=mtr
Can't speak for the fit but the quality of the piece and it's finish is very high. Of course we are talking about $30 for a bent piece of metal, but nevertheless it is higher quality than I expected. I think 71fakes bought one as well.
