    I've been searching for a simple power brake upgrade and I found a setup on ebay rather cheap...
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/331547118209?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    Curious to see if anyone is running this and if there is enough room with the clutch master sitting right next to it...I measured 7" across the center of the hole where the master cylinder would go and it looks like it would be a tight fit...any thoughts on this?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    You need the measurement from the stand off bracket to the back of the booster,
    If I remember right, the clutch master fits in there with the back side of the booster can over the end of the clutch cyl. a little bit. It's been a long time since my friend sold his truck, but I remember it fitting in there.
    Best to drop a note to the vendor, and get the measurement, then you can be sure.

    Make sure to get a proportion valve with it, you will be running dual cylinder brakes with that setup

    1957/60 F100's with optional power brakes used the 5 1/2" diameter Midland Ross power brake booster.
