i wish i recorded my sketchy build... all kinds of wierd engineering. cut the frame in half and rebuilt the rear, made a sweat manual clutch linkage with threaded rod and a gorilla tape bushing.. it was an emergency test bushing.. and it worked so good i forgot to put a real one in.. when it wears out ill replace it better i hope,, unless i need it now...painted the whole thing with black tractor plaint with a brush it looks like a homemade farm jeep ready for war
It's not all that difficult. But an extra set of hands would be helpful. It REALLY makes a huge difference in stopping power. Before I would have to pump 2 to 3 times to stop decent. Now the brakes will lock up if you hit it hard, Even on the first hit.
Your booster bracket is upside down. The pivot is supposed to face up and its meant to drop the booster below the centerline of the pedal point so the booster/master doesnt hit the hood. The aftermarket booster being smaller diameter than stock is the only reason installing the bracket upside-down worked
I know I can adjust it down with the linkage, but I am not sure how to adjust the brake light button to match. It's probably easy, I just haven't looked.
you should be able to adjust the rod going to the vac assist unit the get the pedal height where you want it. Enjoy the ride and remember Just Empty Every Pocket!

Sounds like typical jeep life!
I'm getting ready for the same conversion on my sons 83 Scrambler with a 258.

@@Blakes-Garage My son and I just picked up two Scramblers for a father son project. Good brakes are definitely important.

This is good info, but I think if I switched it, the canister would hit the carb. It works really well as it is though.
Good job . I recently did this too . I’m a nurse not a mechanic 😅. My brake pedal is high too

I'll look into that, it's a little high, but after driving it, it's not horrible.
