'85 CJ-7 Master Cylinder

Hi

I'm not the OP, but one swap is documented here.

Getting the correct booster/master cylinder for my CJ allowed me to not have to re-route any brake lines.

Cost was ~$140.00 for the PowerBoost/Master Cylinder and ~$100 for the firewall bracket and adjustable brake rod plus fluid and a day's work.

The March 2005 issue of "Peterson's 4Wheel and Offroad" has an article describing a way to increase stopping power by changing the angles in the brake pedal linkage that pointed me in this direction.

Good Luck

I used this link.

It seems to be the same write-up as the other poster. I highly recommend this swap. It's simple, quick and inexpensive. My CJ always had good brakes, it just took a lot of leg. Now it takes one toe. My firewall already had the holes to accept the 4-bolt bracket, so I just took one part off, put one part on. I got my new booster / MC and bracket on Ebay. I used the brake line adapters mentioned and I took my steering column apart at the coupling to move the brake lines to the other side of the MC, carefully bending them 180 degrees to fit into the other side of the MC. I bought a new check valve and a pipe fitting to draw vacuum from my Edelbrock Performer intake. I did have to bend my brake light switch tab slightly. It's one of the best low buck mods I've done.

Thanks to all for posting the plans. As soon as I get back from Korea I'm going to do this mod.
