Hydroboost pedal rod?

[pontiacgp]

I don’t believe I can. The sleeve that the rod sits in on the hydroboost is crimped in. The one in the vacuum booster looks to be held in with a snap ring.

It mounts with a removable 4 bolt flange. Diameter of the hole the hydroboost runs through is around an inch and 5/8.

what is the measurement of the rod with the flange ?

It’s about an 1/8 of an inch shorter.

My dad came up with an idea, making a bracket on the brake pedal to move the attachment point closer to the driver to make up the difference. I wonder if that’ll work?

I did that for my clutch pedal so it was at the position I wanted it but that was only 3/4", I don't know if that could be done for 3". You could always cut a section out of the rod and use a sleeve over the two sections joining together. You could use a good adhesive to join the rod back together with the sleeve. You could weld it but I would be concerned with the heat and the rubber seals in the unit

What about cutting the rod on the hydro, and threading a rod end in?

3" isn't a lot until it's on the end of your rod. Can you switch them?

I tired to take the rod out of the brake booster and you have to basically destroy the booster to get the rod out.....it was kinda fun destroying it and I did get the rod out......

it seems that they are sorta doing that but cutting and threading the shaft to install a clevis...

I still feel like I’d be cutting far too much out of the rod to thread it. Perhaps a combination of a rod end with a extended bracket on the brake pedal?

I wonder how much needs to be cut off to use a clevis?

The clevis give you room to make adjustments so I would set it up to match the rod length on the booster.

Exactly, it's the same with a rod end. Cut it shorter than the vacuum booster, then you have threads for adjustment. You done, yet?

I’m sorry, are there too many questions in here?
