Lately the GBody Brake pedals have gotten pretty pricey. If you have a Vacuum brake GBody and want to go with a hydro boost you have to find a Grand National brake pedal.
They should be plentiful as a lot of Turbo Buick people went with vacuum brakes over the years. The problem is they hang onto them because with the increasing values of stock Turbo Buicks no one wants to give up their original parts.
This is a double sided coin for most. So you are looking at $45 to $65.00 plus shipping for a brake Pedal. Then you get to add this to your collection of parts.
We had come up with a way a few years ago to cure this. Now we have a manufacturer who has a steady supply of what we need to give the GBody Owner the best of both worlds.
The difference in brake Pedals is the location of the clevice pin. They are 1-1/8 differences in locations.
So you have a Turbo Buick and are on a budget and the Power Master goes out. You plan on going back one day but choose to go vacuum. Well this is a simple way for either GBody owner who may want to go back and forth in what they choose without having to get on your back and remove the brake pedal when you change your mind. This is a 1 time deal.
The power master location of the clevice pin is 1-18 higher than a Vacuum set up. You simply take a tape measure and measure center point to center point to find the new location.
You drill a hole the size of the clevice pin. You insert the clevice pin. From the back you simply weld in the back of the hole to securely fasten the new location.
To go from a Power master to a vacuum brake you just measure down 1-1/8 and drill your hole.

*There are many hydro boost systems that can be used on your GBody. They can use either pin location depending on the choice you make.
If you change your mind on a braking system in the future it is no problem. If you just dont want to spend the money on another pedal this is a very reasonable alternative.
The clevice Pin is made of quality 304 Stainless steel. It comes with a washer, spring washer, and a stainless cotter pin.
