Hey Guys,


So after doing a Z32 Brake upgrade on the S13, the brake feel was not quite to my liking. As a result i got my hands on an S15 brake booster to make things better.... After a small amount of work it was fitted and everything was hooked up - brake pedal now feels perfect!

Only one small problem - the pedal is way too close to the floor now for my liking, it is now only slightly higher then the accelerator and about half the height of the clutch pedal.

*** What i am looking for is someone who has done this or a similar conversion before and could point me towards a place to get a new bracket fabricated for the brake booster so that my pedal can be returned to reasonable height (the one shown in the pic below). If there is an off the shelf solution from another vehicle even better. ***

The standard bracket is approximately 43mm from the center of the clevis pin to the end that connects to the input rod. I would need something that is approx 63mm or so to put the pedal back to a normal height.

Surely i'm not the only one who has done this, or a similar conversion with the same issue.


Cheers.

Any decent brake shop should be able to supply you with a different clevis pin bracket to suit.
