Thanks for the feedback, Fred. I have come to the conclusion that the brackets are the key. I have a New Bendix master/booster combo ready to go but no brackets. I understand that you can use '73-'87 brackets and links with some modification. I have a couple of places to look tomorrow, because for the first time doing this conversion I'd like to stick with all factory parts for the correct year. There's always Pirate Jack's as a last resort. I'll post what I find out.

best wishes,

Les
