brakes Switching to a Tii brake booster

[remout]

When switching from the larger diameter booster to the Tii one, are there any other mods necessary due to the length of the Tii booster. The battery is still under the hood. I can't just look for myself as our Tii booster is in transit post rebuild.

 

Many Thanks!

If I recall correctly, you'll have to change a couple of hard lines to make up for the forward relocation of the master cylinder.

With the battery still in the engine compartment, it may be fairly tight!

A tii takes a Group 26R battery with a short-end ledge (fairly rare nowadays) for the battery hold-down. A non-tii takes a considerably longer Group 47 with a long-side ledge for the hold-down. Quite a number of people already use the smaller Group 26R in non-tii models. You MAY find that, if you are currently using the longer Group 47 battery, you need to downsize to a Group 26R to gain adequate clearance for the master cylinder.

I believe a number of folks have done this without swapping to longer hard brake lines and simply bending them to the new location of the master cylinder. I tried this when swapping my booster a few years back and was just not happy with how the lines needed to be bent so elected to swap a couple of them out. A bit of a pain, but not too bad.
