I was surprised to see the new style positions the MC much farther back thus requiring a new hole in the floor for filling. Classic Parts said CPP changed the design. Does anyone know where I might get the previous style that puts the MC closer to the pedal pivot or is this new bracket the way to go? ( the picture on page 73 of the Classic Parts cat. is the old style but they say it is no longer available)

Having been an engineer for 30 years I can say whoever designed this new bracket should be fired. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,422 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,422 | Contact Ghostrider here on the Stovebolt.

With booster would move it back even further. I don't know how you would fill a dual thru an original floor hole anyway? The old bracket for TF required a hole in floor to be cut. They sell a filler bottle with a hook nose on it to fill from underneath.
I hope you did not get the passenger car bracket, it is loooooooong.

It just seems unnecessary to have it back so far that one port is over the middle crossmember making it difficult to do the plumbing. I may modify it to move it forward.Just welding an extra length on the back to provide another mounting hole should do it. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | The CPP bracket for the dual MC I have, not using a booster, fits very smoothly between the two crossmembers without any interference. It puts the dual MC pretty close to the same place the old one was.. it IS further back and more towards the tranny, but very close. Its the latest bracket, so not sure unless you have a booster. Then it makes sense. Why I decided to roll the dice and see if my lead foot can stop the truck without a booster. | | |
