Converting manual brakes to power. 70 Bee

[BeeKool]

Swapping the old m/c out and replacing it with a new booster m/c assembly wasn't too difficult thanks to some advice I found on fbbo. However, the plunger in the new assembly isn't as long as the one I removed. Is there some linkage I can acquire to remedy this?

Yep, there's a fulcrum type linkage that's used on PB cars that isn't there on manual brake cars.

...and it's real fun to install!

Can I get it at a local parts store, or do I need to go through Classic Industries, Summit, jegs?

Someone was selling one on this site (or the A body side) about a week ago.

Welcome to FBBO from Hot & Dry NorCal

maybe post this in the general discussion forum or
the appr. tech section or year specific section
you'll get far more responses that way,
this is the welcome wagon it's really not intended as a
tech & Q&A forum section, more for intros & sharing a
few stories photos, getting to know each other etc.

there's also a decent search feature on/near the top right of the page,
most subjects have been covered many times,
a bit of research will help, when asking questions make sure you give
as much information as possible, makes for easier answering too

good luck & Happy Moparing

Just happen to have a picture, I'm in the middle of a project so the brake pedal is detached. Note the spring as well.

Thanks for the pic. Is the spring something I will also need to acquire?

Yes. Looks like Brewer's has what you need. See link.

. They (wilwood) make it appear as though a disc conversion is simple. That part of it is. I figured why stop there, may as well convert it over to power. It's the little stuff that nickel and dime you. I wish I had found fbbo a year ago. Not only would I have I been spared a migraine or two. I would have saved myself a couple grand in the total cost of restoration and lost time.
