vacuum boost in a '33 Hot Rod
The photos below show how I did it. Not an easy job as I had to modify the pedal box to add a bell-crank mechanism and eliminate the supplied MC's. Also had to extend the chassis rails behind the firewall to pick up the mounting points. Another challenge was finding a vacuum booster that had a small enough "pumpkin" to fit under the hood and inside the side covers. IIRC, Summit had a search tool that allowed me to sort based on reservoir size and other features. It was a tight squeeze, but I'm satisfied with how it came out.
Also, FWIW, I saw a builder at the Huntington Beach Cruise-In about 10 years ago who had integrated a booster assembly out of a BMW. Sorry, no pictures, but my memory is that his set-up was slightly more compact than mine.
