A strange request...

This might seem strange to some but can anyone possible provide me with the dimensions for the bolt pattern for the brake booster? I need to weld in a new piece of metal there but dont have time to pull mine to check it. Im havin a guy cut me a piece on a cnc for me so i can get it done in a day. (Daily driver).

Again, odd request. Any help is much obliged. Thanks

Re: A strange request...

I'm out in the shop and grabbed a brake booster I had put up. If your talking about the booster to firewall pattern I can help you some.

I used my dail calipers and came up with
.390" stud dia
and going from center to center of the studs on back of booster I get 3.375" x 1.570"

I might be off a tad as I was just eye balling the centers of studs

Just so you know, left side of bolt to left side of other bolt, right side to right side and center to center will all be the same measurement. Easier than trying to find the center on both.

Yes, as long as the bolts or holes are the same diameter.
