I see from the look of the pix there....how in hell any round vac booster would ever mount in that location....?? it looks like it was a manual brake car.....

or is my knowledge/perspective rong??

it looks as if a two ear version of maybe 1/4" steel with a hole in the middle for the HB to mount...would enable that HB to clear the lower bulge...?

then for vibration to use a brace under the units to the lower firewall??

I was thinking a hunk of alum like this would be the way to go. Hole saw the center out and drill your four mounting holes. Then you can trim it, shape it and polish it for looks.

I'm just speculating, but my HB unit came with two different length pushrods. Naturally, the one installed was not the one that I needed. It wasn't too hard to get the installed one off, but there isn't much to hold on to to gently hammer the new one on (see the reference above to splitting the female part). I took a cheap, Chinese wrench and ground it to fit the female part so that I could grip it enough to hammer in the rod. I suspect that the Kent-Moore tool does the same thing. I can also see how you could easily split the part.
