In this video we upgrade my 1985 Jeep CJ-7 to vacuum assist brakes for safety. We also clean up, paint and refresh the calipers, and replace the hoses.

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!

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

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

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.
