Doesn't look right.. Booster /mc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jcblue · 02-21-2015, 05:58 PM

What's wrong here? Shouldn't the mc set level?

hamjet · 02-21-2015, 06:06 PM

Not sure, but I see alot lean forward, and alot lean back..

Custom/Ten · 02-21-2015, 06:36 PM

Mine is the same, still plenty of room for fluid.

PanelDeland · 02-21-2015, 06:42 PM

Hard to see in that photo but I'm guessing the bracket is upside down but I'm not sure.

Mr Handy · 02-21-2015, 06:50 PM

looks right to me, engine leans back and the MC leans forward.

jcblue · 02-21-2015, 07:09 PM

I thought the bracket was upside down as well, I flipped it but that definitely was not right..

**special-K** · 02-21-2015, 07:38 PM

Did you mean plumb?

They definitely don't sit level.

EARNHARDT#3 · 02-21-2015, 07:55 PM

That's how it's supposed to be.

Steve Cole · 02-21-2015, 08:03 PM

All I can say is mine does not look like that. My mc tilts upward, not downward like yours does.

rocknss · 02-21-2015, 10:13 PM

Mine also tilts upward.

**derotoreut** · 02-21-2015, 11:19 PM

No it doesn't look right. Looks like fluid is going to leak all over.

There… That's better.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

**special-K** · 02-21-2015, 11:38 PM

See how the engine sits? The M/C should sit lower in rear,too. Could you take a close-up? Can't tell what's wrong with it even with it horizontal now.

jcblue · 02-21-2015, 11:39 PM

Ha pretty good

CST10 · 02-22-2015, 01:28 AM

It's about the same angle as mine sits on my 70 model.

There is no way that is right.

asolde · 02-22-2015, 06:53 AM

Looks like it is missing a couple of support brackets?

yuccales · 02-22-2015, 11:39 AM

Just walked out and looked at my '70, and it looks the same as yours.

X2. I agree ^^^. Shouldn't be leaning forward like that.

Mine does. It's all correct too :-)

Sorry but that's how mine sits. Original mount and booster. I never had any problems with it. Maybe mine is off, but it's never been removed as far as I know.

Its hard to tell in your picture (because of the wide shot)what is wrong but you have something installed incorrectly. I dont have a side view of mine but I do have a close up of a correct assembly. Note in my second pic that it is not mounted to a firewall and it does appear to be leaning forward but when installed properly it should look closer to level.
Hope this helps you

I know that 3/4 tons with front disc brakes all look just like yours, mine do

jcblue · 02-22-2015, 05:51 PM

I just mocked this up bc I didn't think it looked right.. The mc is a little longer than original, the booster is old, getting a new one..

brown7373 · 02-22-2015, 08:03 PM

It is supposed to lean forward.

**57taskforce** · 02-22-2015, 08:18 PM

Mine leans forward as well
