Drilling Hole in Brake Pedal 1" Lower

[JonnyC10]

So I read on here that a hole needs to be drilled for the brake pedal push rod an inch lower from the original hole when doing a power disc brake conversion.

So about that... Is the hole supposed to be 1 inch center to center or bottom of old hole to top of new hole or what?

I did a power brake install on my 72' half ton and it was a bolt in procedure with stock components. Get the master cylinder, brackets, booster, push rod and proportioning valve to match your particular set up and its a bolt in. I can't say for sure about using aftermarket stuff but I have seen CaptainFab on here and he makes some nice stuff.

I just installed a CPP disc brake conversion and used what came with the kit.

Can I remove the pedal without removing the whole assembly?

If youre using a 71-72 stock p brake set up with the pedal rod that the booster comes with you dont have to drill a hole at all. Its not very comfy under the dash esoecially after age 40, but its not avery hard job. Hook up the rod before you hook up the booster.

I'm using a cpp booster and rod. Cpp told me I needed to drill a hole.

I drilled the hole. It was center to center.
Pedal then acted WAY! too fast, so I moved it back.
It will not hurt to try and will not harm your pedal lever?
