Re: Brake Questions
Look at the 4 mounting studs on the back of the booster, if the studs are not threaded all the way down you will need a bunch of washers, or some nylon spacers about 3/8" thick to space it out so it will properly mount to the intermediate mounting plate. You will also need to double up the EPDM rubber/foam doughnut gasket since it is spaced further away, otherwise you will get fumes in your cabin.
That IAP booster looks similar, but mounts different than the original. Also the factory manual differs in the spec for the pushrod length versus the IAP recommended spec. I still havent gotten mine properly adjusted.
