Master Cylinder Mounting Plate and Brake Rod
 
I am in the process of replacing the stock power brake booster and master cylinder on my 77 Camaro with a Wilwood aluminum piece. The issue I have come across is that Wilwood does not make (that I can find) an adapter plate to go from the 4 bolt vac booster mouting bolts to the 2 bolt master cylinder. Also, I need to find a brake rod that will work with the stock pedal but insert into the new master cylinder correctly. I would like to find a rod with some sort of retention feature that will stay captured in place to avoid the rod dropping like I have heard of some fellow racers having issues with in the past.
Any help locating a mounting adapter and brake rod recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

I just redid my SS car this weekend. I ordered the brake rod kit from JerryBickel.com and used the correct rod end for my application. Do it right the first time.

Ken,has it been determined what caused the problem with the brakes in the accident?
My understanding is firewall flex when holding down the pedal on the starting line can be the culprit.Hope your recovery is coming along well.

I never got to see the car but I am pretty sure the rod came out and wedged on the floorboard. I tend to be heavy footed on the starting line. Probably had 1500# when I lifted which allowed the pedal to spring back. When I hit the pedal at the finish it didnt budge. My recovery is coming along. No more headaches but my foot is still messed up. Probably will be for life.

Ken, That is exactly what I was looking for on the brake rod.
Thanks!
