Saw this picture from a truck on eBay. Though it is a bit rough, I thought it might be helpful to someone wanting to relocate their brake booster. Or make your own version there of.

Great idea there. I saved that for my "things guys are going to ask sometime' file. Thanks for Sharing it. That's a ten dollar fix to a hundred dollar problem. You would want to make sure the extension for the brake pushrod is heavy duty though as they tend to want to flex or bend when they are long like that and aren't strong enough.

It isn't as bad as guys make it out to be. I've used a small hand held mirror to check mine before. One of those syringes like party people are sticking jello shots in with a short piece of hose works great to pull fluid out of the bottle and squirt it in the master cylinder. Now that I don't work on a dairy farm it's harder to get them than just running up to the barn though.
