    Hi guys.
    I am restoring a 1970 Maverick and converting it to front disc brakes. I have bought a brake booster/master cylinder from "MaverickConnection", but unfortunately didn´t buy the brakets ! Can anybody mail me a picture of how it´s gonna look AND, does anybody have the parts I need (I am unfortunately a bit suspicius as I last year sent 150 $ to some idiot that promised me he´d send me the parts, and I never recieved so much as a nut ! He´s name is John Nelson, Salem VA. Now you are warned !)

    To install the factory power brake set up, you need more than just the brackets,you need the complete pedal assembly. Also, you cannot put the factory set up on a standard transmission car. Only automatics. The master cylinder/ booster assembly is angled toward the center of the car and the brake pedal comes down the left side of the steering column (where the clutch pedal normally goes).

    I have the bracket, pedal, and spring-tower brace. Sorry I have no pics right now. May be able to get some later. Let me know if you're interested...
