Brake booster mounting

[c10/72]

HELP!!!

Can I mount a 8" brake booster straight to the firewall without using the brackets...will my brakes work?

When I upgraded mine to power brakes there was no way I could get it to work with out the bracket. It was to far from the pv, Find a donor truck and take the bracket. I got mine for 40 dollars.

Thanks for the replay...I have brackets I can use, but just wanted to keep try flush mounting the booster...this sucks!!! I've seen a few people do it and I just can't figure out why my dics/disc conversion with the booster bolted to the firewall isn't working!

Whats not working. is the brake still hard to press. take some pics of your set up and some of the other members will chime in.

The pedal will not hold pressure...I have bleed the brakes numerous times, but pedal still goes to the floor...initially with the m/c bolted to the booster, the brakes had too much pressure and I could not move the truck...I adjusted the booster pushrod as much as I could and it relieved pressure...again I bleed the brakes and they hold, but pedal to the floor!

Your not holding pressure, are you bleeding the brakes by your self if so i would have some one help.. several options you have air still in the lines or you have a leak. if you dont see it leaking at all then you have air.
