Glad to see you are making progress with the Gremlin. When finished, will it be left or right hand drive? I looked back at the first few photo in the thread, but looking at the last few, it's hard to tell.

I'll follow these lines a little ways more,
Until I can find what I'm looking for. With the pedal to the metal, I'm gaining my speed. Riding down low in my AMC..... |

Bit of a what the F moment today, the brake booster that was in the car when I got it doesn't fit now that I am truing to mount it on the left hand side:
Same booster and master cylinder as my 69 Javelin, I think the donor for the Gremlin was an Ambassador. Looks like I will be borrowing the booster and mounting bracket from my 71 Javelin and buying a new disc brake master cylinder (the Javelin was drums all round). Glad I did a trial fit before cleaning up and painting the booster. Edited by WesternRed - Jul/15/2017 at 7:35am |

Thanks, that's what I have borrowed off the 71 Jav as far as the booster and mounting bracket goes, looks like disc and drum master cylinders are different, so will just get a new master cylinder to suit the front disc setup from Rockauto.

I figured that was the case, do you know if the Aussie cars also used the shorter master cylinder bracket? The one that was on the car was about 4", the one off the Javelin is about 3", going to have to get another one for the Javelin at some point.

You mean the firewall to rear of booster brackets?
This one I think is off a Hornet. The brackets are 82 mm deep |
