    Hey Guys & Gals,

    Which particular mini booster / master cylinder setup ie...7" are those of you running that fits between the fire wall and the shock tower?

    I will be doing a Granada style front disk brake conversion soon, but I do not want to use the shock tower bracket like the factory disk brake equipped Mavericks & Comets came with.

    From my measurements there appears to be 12" from the firewall to the back of the shock tower (nearest to the firewall) most mini 7" boosters and master cylinders seem to be at least 13" in length. Those of you running the setup I'm describing please chime in.

    Thanks

    dont worry about the booster just replace your old master cylinder with one from a 97 ford ranger it bolts right in and has much more stopping capability than the old factory set up.
    I haver this set up on 72 comet gt with all wheel disc brakes and my car stops on a dime

    Junrai, do you have the part number? I tried the stock '75 master and the pedal is rock hard.
