Car has power brakes the guide is for a manuel brake car. Guess i'll keep my eye on ebay for one used. Thanks

The correct guide clips on backing plate and stands up farther to hold the wiresup higher to clear the taller booster.

Chris, No I did not get the booster. I have my doubts it is even rebuildable. Been sitting right where it's at for 20-25 years at least.

superwrench master Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 2,537 PORT ALBERNI , BC., CANADA	Doug....my power drum brake one is the same as Bill pictured....3 3/4" total length. '68 GTX. Now...I'm not saying that the clip is 100% originally from that car, but I'm sure it was as it was in the boxes of the stuff removed from the car before I got it....in the box with the booster.

It seemed to clip fine onto the manuel brake bracket where it just hangs down. But when i try to clip it on the power brake bracket which aims it out not down it just flops around. Maybe there the same and mine is just junk. I'd like to get another one but i don't no about 45 bucks for one.

AND there are actually 2 different lengths.This one and a second one approx 1" shorter And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which car received which length. Be it manual +/or power drum or power disc brakes. Last edited by gtx6970; 05/01/10 09:23 AM.
