    I am Installing an aftermarket booster and was wondering if anyone has designed a different brace, maybe out of tubing, like on my 65 fairlane?

    Do you meam like these/ They are made by MPG Head. They need a little modifying. They are for early Mustang. I had to cut 3/4" off of each end Retap the left hand thread as it didn't go all the way through. 2 bolts on the firewall lined up and I drilled the other 2.
