Default 1st gen help with brake booster studs

Hey guys, well I was about to mount my ATS firewall bracket yesterday, and when I took off my booster I realized that someone had removed the studs that held the booster in place. Looked into it some more and I found out that one of the previous owners had cut out that piece of medal and welded in new.

So with all that being said, can anyone shoot me some measurements on how far down and over the original studs sit? I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Daniel

The studs are part of the bracket for the brake pedal. You could drill out where the studs were cut off & mount it under the dash. Track the holes on the firewall & drill it out.

Well after I posted this thread I did some more work on the car and some where along the line of owners... One of them decided to cut off the back of the pedal bracket and weld on a new piece. So now I need to get a new bracket for the pedal. But I was hoping I could get the holes drilled out while I was waiting for it to show up.

You might want to look at Year One to see if they have something that works.

I found something on a heartthrob chevy site. I called but didn't get anything back. There are a couple of 69's for sale but they are different lol. I'm sure everything will work it's self out, but the engine shows up Monday and now I'm gonna have to wait to install. Figures

I might have an extra one. Let me check and see if I still have it (the pedal mount assembly).
